How Do I Know If I Need A Proxy?

Timing is an important factor when it comes to taking major decisions in a new business. Often new entrepreneurs ignore data and internet security, pushing it down their priority list. While it is understandable that starting a new business is hard and a super expensive affair, but security is not something to be taken very casually. A proxy residential or datacenter, will protect your company and its systems from any cyber attack and data theft. There are a number of benefits that you will get from a good proxy, which makes it a worthy investment.

Stringent Security

Data security is the most important thing for any business as a leak of data can put your sensitive company information at risk, compromise your whole business, and even run the risk of wiping your bank account clean. Your rivals can make use of your company’s data to steal your strategies and ideas, ruin your reputation, take away clients and poach your best employees. A proxy is the layer of protection between your data and any invading prying eyes. There are some proxies, which will also encrypt your data, making it effectively unreadable even if one gets access to your systems.

Internet Anonymity

We are constantly leaving behind obvious footprints on the internet as all browsers use cookies to track and store information about our online habits. That could give away your ideas, strategies and planning, if hacked into. With a proxy you can route your web traffic through the proxy server, thus being untraceable and anonymous. You can also bypass geographical blocks imposed by websites or governments to access any content that is legally available outside your region and it cannot even be traced back to you.

Balancing Web Traffic

Once your business starts picking up pace, your servers will have to start taking heavier loads of web traffic, which can slow down your system. Over the long term it can even crash your system, causing the loss of data and business. However, if you use a proxy, you will be able to distribute this load to several different data servers, tacking any overload issues and increasing the efficiency of your system.

Better Internet Speeds

Proxies work to enhance your bandwidth allocation, working in the background, clearing away  unwanted cache and thus effectively handling all web traffic quicker. Thus, a proxy can help improve the speed of your internet. By redistributing and reducing the load on your servers, they not only ensure better health of the server, but also makes your internet function smoother. Moreover, it is also possible to set internet usage caps to prevent internet misuse, thus, reducing load off your own servers.

Marketing Made Easier

Proxies will help you manage multiple processes by routing through different IPs, which ensure that you can evade getting flagged as a spam and getting blocked. You will be able to create and manage multiple accounts, all tracing back to different IP addresses, and use them to promote your brand. This offers a more organic and authentic feel without appearing pushy. You can also reach out to a wider demographic with niche appeal, and thus, diversify your campaigns.

Buying a proxy might feel like a significant financial commitment, but it is actually an investment for your future.
