# What are the differences between sticky and rotating proxies?

{% hint style="success" %}

## Static Residential Proxies

* Static proxies are IPs that are assigned via a contract by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). And as the name “static” implies, it allows you to operate as a residential user with the same IP for as long as required.
* Static IP proxy allows you to avoid IP address rotation, making their use significantly simpler.
* **Most site requires Static Residential Proxies.**
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

## Rotating Residential Proxies

* A rotating proxy is a proxy server that assigns a new IP address from the proxy pool for every connection. That means you can launch a script to send 10,000 requests to any number of sites and get 10,000 different IP addresses.
* It allows the IP to rotate every time you send a request.
* **Rotating Residential Proxies are commonly used on Raffle Bot.**
