SharedProxies Alternatives

Choosing a datacenter proxy provider is an important business decision that should be given considerable time and effort. You can’t just sign up with the first proxy provider you see on the internet. There has to be intensive research and testing involved before finally coming to a decision. When doing your research, you should also know what to look for so it’s important to ask these questions:

• Do I really need all the features included in the package?
• Is the provider reliable?
• Will I get my money back if things don't work out?
• Is there someone I can talk to in easily if I encounter technical issues?

In one glance, you can already tell that Limeproxies offer a lot more features than SharedProxies, although both of them have the basic ones. The question to ask at this point is, “Do I really need all these features that Limeproxies has to offer?”

All these features are very important to every proxy user, no matter the use case. Find out more about them below:

When we talk about virgin proxies, we are referring to proxies that haven’t been used by anyone before. You will be its first user, giving you these advantages:

Clean: With virgin proxies, there’s no chance that some website had blocked them before since there is no previous owner.

More bypass capability: Virgin proxies allow you to bypass websites with very strict security.

When accessing data intensive applications that require you to connect to a proxy server, you’re better off using dedicated proxy IP addresses rather than shared proxies. This is to ensure that the bandwidth and all other resources are exclusively yours to use.

If you want to have a clear picture of how Limeproxies can help you, you can use our proxy service for free for two days. We offer this free trial because we understand the importance of testing a software or digital product before committing to a long-term subscription.

On top of this, we also have a refund policy that allows you to get your money back if you decide to cancel your subscription within three days from the day you signed up. That’s how confident we are with our features and service. Read our refund policy here.

Most social media platforms are server-based for security purposes. This means that they don’t give out the IP addresses, making IP-based authentication practically useless. With Limeproxies, you can perform all your social media activities and use other ser-based platforms without missing a beat since we also offer username-based authentication. You only need the username and password of your proxy in order to use the platform or application.

Of course, we also offer IP-based authentication because we believe in giving our clients the flexibility they need to perform their functions.

SOCKS makes a proxy an all-around service as it enables you to process any type of protocols, programs, or traffic. Compared to HTTP which only supports websites that have HTTP, SOCKS can work on any website. Aside from this, SOCKS also provides an additional layer of security.

SharedProxies has servers in five countries, whereas Limeproxies servers are present in more than 22 countries. This gives you more choices and flexibility in terms of unblocking geo locations and IP address choices. You can access the list of locations here.

You can reach the technical support department of Limeproxies anytime and any day as they are available 24/7. You can open a ticket, route your concerns via email, or you can give us a call. A knowledgeable and helpful tech support agent is at your beck and call regardless of your timezone.

If talking to the technical support team is not your cup of tea, you can raise your issues with the account manager assigned to you. Yes, every client has a dedicated account manager that you can talk to. That’s how much we value your comfort and convenience!

Everyone makes mistakes as we’re all human after all. A website or platform can block your proxies for going against their rules, but Limeproxies can give you another chance. Our Anytime IP Refresh feature allows you to request for a one-time change of proxies in scenarios like this. The best thing about this is that you don’t have to pay for the new proxy as it’s included in your package!
