Dedicated proxy
A proxy IP address assigned to a single customer, so its reputation reflects only your own traffic.
A dedicated proxy is yours alone. No one else routes through the address, which means its standing with the sites you visit is a product of your behaviour and nothing else. For anything where a clean, predictable reputation matters, that exclusivity is the point.
The practical payoff is diagnosability. When something goes wrong on a dedicated address you know the cause is your own traffic, not an anonymous co-tenant, which makes rate problems and blocks something you can reason about rather than guess at.
Dedicated addresses cost more than shared ones for the obvious reason, you are renting the whole thing, and the premium is really a premium on certainty.
