How to Choose Static IPs: Real Global Performance Data

In recent years, whether it's cross-border e-commerce, overseas social media operations, data collection, or account management, static data center IPs have almost become a necessity.
However, many people realize only after using them that even static IPs can have significant differences in latency and stability between countries.
Today, we’ll share practical experiences comparing latency and stability of static data center IPs in different countries, hoping to help you avoid unnecessary detours.

1. Let's clarify: What is aStatic Data Center IP?
A static data center IP is an IP resource from a server in a data center whose address remains fixed over a long period.
Compared to residential IPs, it has several clear characteristics:
• More stable, not changing frequently
• High network bandwidth, fast speed
• Relatively cost-effective, suitable for long-term projects
• Better for automation and batch operations
Therefore, many people doing overseas business choose a combination of static IP + data center lines.
2. Key factors affecting latency and stability
Before comparing different countries, the truth is: the quality of an IP depends not only on the country but also on the data center and the provider.
Generally, the main factors are:
• National network infrastructure
• Data center tier (Tier 3 / Tier 4)
• Quality of international bandwidth
• Whether the provider has optimized the lines
• Whether it is a truly clean static IP
This is why I tend to go directly with a reliable IPDEEP provider rather than buying cheap IPs indiscriminately.
3. Practical comparison of static data center IPs by country
| Country/Region | Average Latency (Direct to Domestic) | Stability | User Experience | Recommended Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USA | 150ms | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Very stable, suitable for long-term projects | Cross-border e-commerce, ad campaigns, social media matrices | IPDEEP USA nodes ran a full week without downtime |
| Germany | 180-200ms | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Stable, but strict on risk control | EU e-commerce, localized business | High-quality IP, check for purity |
| UK | 190-210ms | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Stable, slightly higher latency | UK market operations | Strong compliance |
| Netherlands | 180-220ms | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Stable, moderate speed | EU market data collection | High density of data centers |
| Japan | 60-80ms | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Low latency, great experience | APAC market, fast access | Price is higher, IP resources limited |
| Singapore | 80-100ms | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Low latency, smooth access | Southeast Asia business | High-speed lines, slightly expensive |
| Minor countries (e.g., South America, parts of Eastern Europe) | 200-350ms | ⭐⭐ | Unstable latency, occasional packet loss | Only for specific needs | Not recommended for beginners |
1️⃣ USA Static Data Center IP: Most stable overall
If you don't know which country to choose, the USA is almost always a safe bet.
• Latency around 150ms (direct to domestic)
• Stability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Recommended Use: Cross-border e-commerce, ad campaigns, social media matrices
Advantages of the USA include:
• Dense data centers
• Ample international bandwidth
• Abundant static IP resources
The IPDEEP USA static IP I use ran for a full week without downtime, which is crucial for automation projects.
2️⃣ European Countries (Germany / UK / Netherlands): Stable but slightly higher latency
European static data center IPs are also of good quality, especially:
• Germany
• UK
• Netherlands
Key points:
• Latency: 180–220ms
• Stability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Strict risk control, high purity requirement
If you operate in the EU or run localized businesses, European static IPs are suitable, but ensure the IPs are not previously abused.
3️⃣ Asian Countries (Japan / Singapore): Low latency but higher price
The biggest advantage of Asian nodes is proximity.
Japan and Singapore static IPs have latency as low as 60–100ms, providing a very smooth experience, but the issues are:
• Price higher than in Europe/USA
• IP resources are relatively limited
General advice: choose Asia for speed, choose the USA for cost-effectiveness.
4️⃣ Minor Country IPs: Use with caution
Some static data center IPs from less common countries may look cheap, but practical tests show:
• Unstable latency
• High packet loss
• Sometimes heavily risk-controlled by target platforms
Unless you have a very specific country requirement, beginners are not advised to try them.
4. Why choosing a reliable provider is more important than “choosing a country”
The same country’s IPs can perform very differently depending on the provider and the data center.
Choosing IPDEEP has several advantages:
• Provides high-purity static IPs
• Multiple country nodes available
• High stability for data center static IPs
• Latency is reasonably controlled
Especially for long-term projects, stability is far more important than price.
5. Practical tips for choosingStatic Data Center IPs
Here are some practical tips if you are choosing IPs:
• Prefer mainstream countries (USA, Japan, Germany, UK)
• Confirm whether it is a dedicated static IP
• Avoid suspicious “ultra-low price IPs”
• Check if testing or replacement is supported
• Choose a long-term reliable provider (like IPDEEP)
Summary
Static data center IPs from different countries do have significant differences in latency and stability. When choosing IPs, don’t focus only on the country—data center quality, provider service, and IP purity are more important.
If you are looking for reliable static data center IPs or a long-term provider, IPDEEP’s high-quality static IPs can keep your projects stable and worry-free.
In short, low latency, high stability, and clean secure static IPs are the true “secret weapon” to keep your overseas projects running smoothly.
