What is a residential IP address?

A residential IP is a type of IP address assigned to internet users by their internet service provider (ISP) to be used in a residential area. Residential IP addresses are typically assigned dynamically, although some ISPs may offer static residential IP addresses. Residential IP addresses offer users a certain level of authority and trustworthiness. Unlike data centers or commercial proxies, residential IP addresses are associated with actual residential locations, making it less likely that websites and other online services will detect and block them.
