Features
Webshare’s most well-received feature is its 10 free premium proxies. However, its three primary products include Proxy Server (Datacenter), Static Residential, and Residential Proxy.
Their datacenters boast 100,000+ IPs from 50+ countries. Static residential proxies offer IPs from top ISPs like Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, and Sprint. This plan also has a 1 Gbps+ speed and unlimited bandwidth. Finally, Webshare’s residential proxies have 30+ million real IPs across 195 countries, with less than one-second connect times.
Aside from its three main products, Webshare provides shared, private, and dedicated IPs. It also allows access to the same proxy using HTTP and Socks5 proxy servers with no limitations. These features protect businesses from suspicious traffic, improve web scraping, and bypass network restrictions.
Additionally, Webshare enhances its products and features with speed. Its datacenters have a 99.97% uptime, and all proxies are monitored 24/7. The platform works with Fast.com and Speedtest.net to benchmark and maintain a download performance of 500Mbps to 950Mbps.
Finally, Webshare’s control panel and APIs make it a great platform for individuals and small businesses who value self-service and customizability. The control panel has 50+ features, with a new one released weekly. As a result, users can tailor it to meet their needs.
In general, Webshare offers many highly convenient proxy perks and services for budget-friendly prices. Its only major downside is that it doesn’t have a 24/7 live chat support and hotline yet.
Registered users can get help through the Message feature, and Webshare’s team will respond in less than 24 hours. The Contact Us section is a bit tricky to find for unregistered users, as it’s located beneath the About Us page. Webshare also provides API Docs, helpful blog articles, and a system status page for common problems and additional support.
