Stormproxies Pros

Stormproxies is not your regular proxy provider that came out of the blues. Since its debut into the industry, it has been providing premium services. It has got a lot of areas they have their foot standing strong. These are areas that they have strengths and can be termed as their pros. This section of the article will discuss these.

Dedicated Proxies for Special Applications

Stormproxies dedicated proxies are available in a variety of categories. They have the general-purpose dedicated private proxies that you can use for general browsing activities. These general-purpose proxies cannot be used in many special cases and as such, they came up with dedicated proxies that are optimized for these special use cases. Let take a look at some of these special proxies.

Stormproxies have proxies specifically made for SEO purposes meant for bulk account creation, traffic bots, SEO tools, and scraping sites. They also have dedicated proxies optimized for sneaker sites such as Nike, Adidas, Supreme, and among other Shopify sites.

Also included in their optimized proxies are Social Media Proxies, which are meant for Social Media Sites like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and many others.

These dedicated and optimized proxies make Stormproxies a versatile dedicated proxy provider as they have proxies to use in a variety of use cases.

Affordable Proxy Packages

One of the effects of having special proxies dedicated for special use cases is that prices are different. Each of the different special proxies hasits unique pricing, and their cost varies. However, they are generally affordable and can be termed cheap. For their general-purpose dedicated private proxies, they have a variety of plans with the smallest coming with 5 proxies and cost $10.

Their SEO dedicated proxies (Reverse Backconnect Proxies) are not sold by ports but by the number of simultaneous connections allowed in the form of threads. 40 threads cost $39 monthly. For sneaker sites proxies, 20 ports cost $160 proxies per month. Their ticketing proxies has its lowest plan at $600 and comes with 200 ports. The last dedicated proxies are the ones optimized for social media. The smallest plan in the social media category sells for $15 and comes with 5 ports.

Looking at the pricing, you’ll agree with me that even though they are not the cheapest in the industry, they are actually affordable and cheap.

Very Fast

No matter how you see it, proxies have been engineered to reduce your Internet connection speed though not intentional. Datacenter proxies can provide you speed near the speed you get without proxies, unlike in residential proxies, that the speed difference is so great. For Stormproxies dedicated proxies, their Internet connection speed was very fast. I tested their proxies to see how fast they are. Before carrying out this test, I had to check my Internet connection and got the following result.

Unlimited Bandwidth

If there is one feature you’ll come to love about Stormproxies dedicated proxies aside from their function is the fact that their proxies come without a metered connection. For the uninitiated, an unmetered connection means unlimited bandwidth. You can enjoy an unlimited connection without your connection being cut after consuming a specific amount of bandwidth.

This is even more valued in the case of SEO proxies that one expects it to be metered, but instead, they are priced based on thread allowed and not bandwidth. This feature together with the fact that their proxies are cheap to makes them a good value for the money.

Easy to Use

Stormproxies does not have a browser extension that makes it easy for its customers to use their services. However, they are incredibly easy to use. Their web interface is easy to use, and in terms of registration, Stormproxies has one of the easiest steps available. Interestingly, their customer support service is there in case you get stuck while trying to access their service.

In terms of authentication, you get the option to use either the username and password authentication, or the IP authentication in most of their proxies.

However, there are some of them that IP authentication is the only option for their authentication. Their datacenter backconnect proxies is an example of proxies that their only means of authentication is through IP authentication, Read our test to stormproxies residential proxies from here.

Customer Support

No product or service is perfect – and proxiesStormproxies dedicated proxies aren’t an exception. You are bound to have challenges and need clarifications. When these occur, you will need someone to talk to, and your first point of contact is the Customer Support Service. When it comes to customer support, you can either make use of their support ticket or live chat support.

I never used their support ticket, but from those that have used it, they claimed to have gotten a response within one hour of submitting their queries. If any of their customer rep is online, you can make use of their live chat service to get a more responsive response from them. Either way, Stormproxies customer support is top-notch and one of the best among its equal.

Stormproxies Cons

With the above, there is no doubt that Stormproxies is a force to reckon within the industry. However, it is still not without a flaw. Before paying for their proxies, I will advise you only do if you can overlook their flaws or if the flaws don’t apply to your own use case. The flops are discussed below.

Location Coverage is Limited

The number flops, and still, the major flaws in Stormproxies dedicated proxies are the distribution of its servers geographically. Stormproxies only have proxies in the United States. They do not offer EU proxies and do not have servers in other countries aside from the United States.

This becomes a major issue especially if you are looking for proxies in specific countries. Until they add support for other countries and locations, many proxy users will not look their way even though their proxies are topnotch.

No Free Trial

Stormproxies does not offer a free trial option. For you to try out their service, you have to pay for a plan, and if you are not OK with it, then you can ask for a refund. While this seems like a good deal, it is not. To make things worse, the refund policy that comes with their plans differ, depending on the plan you subscribe to. While they claim that you can enjoy 2-days money-back guarantee, this is only available in selected plans. In others, the guarantee is just for 2 hours.

In my opinion, 2 hours is small and can easily pass without one actually testing out the service to know if it is the best for him or not.

I strongly recommend Stormproxies dedicated proxies. While they do not offer a free trial and their location coverage is very limited, I still find them as one of the best proxy service providers. Their proxies are fast, affordable, comes in different packages to suit different use cases, and comes with unlimited bandwidth. With all these features, I have no option but to recommend them.
