# Custom Quantity vs Subnet #### ISP Proxy Purchase Options: Custom Quantity vs Full Subnet Customers can purchase ISP proxies either as **individual IPs** or as a **full subnet** (up to 256 IPs). *** **Custom Quantity** Custom quantity orders allow customers to purchase any specific number of IPs (e.g., 10–200) from a subnet range. Each IP is fully private and dedicated to the buyer, though other users may own different IPs within the same range. **Benefits:** * Flexible and cost-efficient * Ideal for smaller or short-term projects * Lower commitment than purchasing a full subnet *** **Full Subnet** A full subnet provides ownership of all 256 IPs within the range. This option gives complete control and exclusivity over the entire block. **Benefits:** * Full control and consistency across all IPs * Clean reputation and improved stability * Best for enterprise-level or automated operations *** #### **Summary** Custom quantity is perfect for flexibility and lower cost, while full subnets deliver complete exclusivity and control. **All ISP proxies are private and dedicated to each user.** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
