# Should I use DC, Residential, or ISP Proxies?

* **ISP Proxies**
  * ISP Proxies are on a data center server supported by an ISP network circuit. This gives added advantages against bans on a large scale as the IPs appear as residential while producing speeds as fast as DC proxies. These proxies are the best type to use for the majority of the sites we support on StellarAIO
* **DC Proxies**
  * Datacenter proxies are meant to be fast but in return is very easily traced back to the corporation or datacenter associated with it. These proxies work best for sites that do not ban easily.
* **Residential Proxies**
  * Residential proxies are not meant to be super fast, but are meant to be the least likely to be banned. This might sound like a downside, but in return you are able to generate thousands of proxies at once to be able to cycle through any proxies that do get banned. Keep in mind that usage is based off of how much data you have purchased along with your plan of residential proxies.

**Summary**

* It's recommended to have both ISPs and Residential proxies

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-proxies-tab/should-i-use-dc-residential-or-isp-proxies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
