How to get started with Proxy-Cheap

A 5-minute walkthrough from sign-up to your first successful request. Total setup time: ~10 minutes.

1. 1

   Create an account and confirm email

   Create a Proxy-Cheap account at https://app.proxy-cheap.com. Self-serve access is usually available immediately.

2. 2

   Choose your proxy mix

   Use the dashboard to choose between residential / datacenter / mobile. Start with the smallest plan to validate your workload before scaling.

3. 3

   Set up your proxy auth

4. 4

   Tune rotation policy for your target

   Decide between rotating-on-every-request (best for SERP scraping) or sticky sessions (best for account-based workflows).

5. 5

   Validate against your real target

   Run 100-500 test requests against your real target before paying for volume. Compare success rate to Proxy-Cheap's claimed rate before committing to an annual plan.
