What is Datacenter IP Detection?

Datacenter IP detection identifies whether an IP address originates from a cloud provider, hosting company, or VPN service rather than a regular residential internet connection.

This is useful for fraud prevention, bot detection, ad verification, and understanding your website traffic.
