<p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Once data collection workloads scale up, traffic-based pricing becomes hard to forecast, which is why unlimited proxy plans are often the first choice. But "unlimited" is implemented in more than one way: pay-per-port and high-bandwidth are two common models, and they suit different workloads. This article breaks down the differences so you can pick the right one.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>How the two unlimited models work</strong></span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">1. Unlimited Proxies - By Port is billed per port. Each port provides a fixed amount of bandwidth, with unlimited traffic and unlimited threads for the duration of the plan, while IPs rotate on a set schedule.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">2. Unlimited Proxies - High Bandwidth is billed by usage time. During the billed window you get unlimited traffic and unlimited concurrent sessions, with the provider supplying ample total bandwidth — ideal for short, high-intensity workloads.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>Key differences</strong></span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">1. Billing: By-Port pricing scales with the number of ports and plan duration, so costs grow linearly and are easy to budget long term. High Bandwidth is billed hourly, so you pay for the time you actually use, keeping cost tied to real usage intensity.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">2. Bandwidth and concurrency: By-Port plans cap bandwidth per port but do not limit threads, making them well suited to spreading a steady workload across many ports over time. High Bandwidth plans remove both traffic and concurrency caps, so large collection jobs can run at full throughput in a short window.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">3. IP rotation: By-Port plans typically support rotation windows of 3–30 minutes, balancing rotation with sessions that last a while. High Bandwidth plans generally allocate random countries across more than 200 regions, prioritizing overall throughput over fine-grained session control.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>Which model fits which workload</strong></span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">1. Unlimited Proxies - By Port suits long-running, steady workloads such as daily price monitoring, SEO rank tracking, and competitor information tracking. When volume is stable over months, per-port billing keeps costs predictable and makes it easy to split ports across business lines.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">2. Unlimited Proxies - High Bandwidth suits short, burst-heavy workloads such as large-scale public data collection, AI training data gathering, and concentrated market research projects. When a job runs for hours or days, hourly billing beats holding a large number of ports for the whole period.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>How to decide</strong></span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">A simple way to choose: look at your traffic curve. If the workload runs every day at a steady rate, go with By Port. If it concentrates in certain windows with sharp peaks, go with High Bandwidth. If you run both types, you can combine the two and split them by business line.</span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>How 711Proxy supports both models</strong></span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 2em;"><a href="https://www.711proxy.com/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 176, 240); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 176, 240);"><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 176, 240); font-size: 16px;">711Proxy</span></strong></span></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 176, 240);"><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 176, 240); font-size: 16px;"></span></strong></span><span style="font-size: 16px;"> offers both options. <a href="https://www.711proxy.com/pricing/regular/port-rotating-proxies" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 176, 240); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 176, 240);"><strong>Unlimited Proxies - By Port</strong></span></a> supports 3–30 minute IP rotation, fixed bandwidth per port, and both HTTP and SOCKS5, with custom port quantities available. <a href="https://www.711proxy.com/pricing/regular/unlimited-rotating-proxies" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 176, 240); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 176, 240);"><strong>Unlimited Proxies - High Bandwidth</strong></span></a> removes traffic and concurrency limits, covers more than 200 regions, and includes 24/7 technical support.
