Migrate from Proxy-Seller

Move from Proxy-Seller to Hex Proxies for modern proxy infrastructure, instant provisioning, and flexible pay-as-you-go pricing without time-limited plans.

Start Migration

Migration Steps

1

Export Proxy-Seller Details

Record your Proxy-Seller proxy type (IPv4, IPv6, ISP, or residential), assigned IP addresses, port numbers, and credentials. Note expiration dates on time-limited plans.

2

Create Hex Proxies Account

Register at hexproxies.com for instant access. No plan selection or time commitment needed to explore the dashboard and proxy options.

3

Choose Hex Proxies Equivalent

Proxy-Seller IPv4 private proxies map to Hex Proxies datacenter or ISP. Proxy-Seller residential maps to Hex Proxies residential. Proxy-Seller ISP maps to Hex Proxies ISP. Choose based on the IP classification your targets require.

4

Transition from Static IPs to Gateway

Proxy-Seller assigns individual static IPs. Hex Proxies uses a gateway model for residential and a static IP model for ISP/datacenter. Update your configuration accordingly based on the proxy type you select.

5

Update Authentication

Replace Proxy-Seller credentials (typically IP-specific user:pass) with your Hex Proxies credentials. If switching from static IPs to gateway, consolidate multiple credential sets into one.

6

Test Target Site Compatibility

Run your critical use cases through Hex Proxies. Verify that the new proxy type delivers equal or better success rates on your target sites.

7

Cancel and Clean Up

Let Proxy-Seller plans expire or cancel them, then remove individual proxy IPs and credentials from your application configuration.

Code Changes

Before (python)
# Proxy-Seller: Individual static IP proxies
PROXIES = [
    {'ip': '45.95.147.23', 'port': 8080, 'user': 'ps_user1', 'pass': 'ps_pass1'},
    {'ip': '45.95.147.24', 'port': 8080, 'user': 'ps_user2', 'pass': 'ps_pass2'},
    {'ip': '45.95.147.25', 'port': 8080, 'user': 'ps_user3', 'pass': 'ps_pass3'},
]
proxy = random.choice(PROXIES)
url = f"http://{proxy['user']}:{proxy['pass']}@{proxy['ip']}:{proxy['port']}"
After (python)
# Hex Proxies: Single gateway with automatic rotation
PROXY_URL = 'http://your_hex_user:your_hex_password@gate.hexproxies.com:7000'
# All rotation, failover, and IP management handled by gateway

Benefits of Switching

  • No time-limited proxy plans or expiration dates
  • Gateway eliminates manual IP list management
  • Single credential set replacing per-IP authentication
  • No blocked IP replacement tickets needed
  • Owned infrastructure instead of resold IPs
  • Pay-as-you-go aligned with actual usage
  • Automatic rotation and failover
  • Instant provisioning without waiting for IP assignment

Why Switch from Proxy-Seller to Hex Proxies?

Proxy-Seller is a traditional proxy reseller that assigns individual static IP addresses with time-limited plans. You buy a set of IPs for 1 month, 3 months, or longer, and those specific IPs are yours for the duration. When the plan expires, the IPs are released and you need to purchase new ones. This model creates operational friction: you manage individual IPs, track expiration dates, handle IP replacement when proxies get blocked, and deal with the overhead of rotating through a static list.

Hex Proxies modernizes this experience. Our gateway model handles IP management, rotation, and health monitoring automatically. For ISP proxies where you need static IPs, we provide them without time-limited expirations. For residential proxies, the gateway rotates IPs automatically. Either way, the operational burden drops dramatically.

The Static IP Management Problem

With Proxy-Seller, you receive a list of IP:Port:User:Pass entries. Your application code needs logic to load this list, select IPs, handle failures, and rotate through available proxies. When an IP gets blocked by a target site, you either wait for the block to expire or request a replacement from Proxy-Seller support.

This manual IP management workflow consumes developer time that should be spent on your core product. Every IP replacement requires a support ticket, configuration update, and deployment. At scale, this operational overhead becomes a significant cost center.

Hex Proxies eliminates this workflow entirely for rotating use cases. The gateway handles IP selection, health checking, and automatic replacement. If an IP is blocked, the gateway routes your next request through a different IP without any action required from your team.

Technical Migration

From IP Lists to Gateway

The fundamental architecture change is moving from a list of individual proxies to a single gateway endpoint. Your application code simplifies from managing arrays of proxy objects to configuring a single proxy URL. Rotation logic, health checking, and failover code can all be removed.

Authentication Consolidation

With Proxy-Seller, you may have different credentials for each IP or group of IPs. Hex Proxies uses a single set of credentials for your entire proxy access. This consolidation simplifies secret management, reduces the number of credentials to rotate, and eliminates the complexity of per-IP authentication.

Expiration Tracking Elimination

Proxy-Seller plans expire on specific dates. If you forget to renew, your proxies stop working. Hex Proxies pay-as-you-go model has no expiration dates. Your access continues as long as your account has a balance. No renewal reminders to track, no service interruptions from missed renewals.

Pricing Model Differences

Proxy-Seller charges per IP per month. If you need 50 IPs for a month, you pay for 50 IPs regardless of how much you use them. If you only need those IPs for 2 weeks, you still pay for the full month. And if some IPs get blocked and become unusable, you still pay for them.

Hex Proxies pricing is based on the proxy type. ISP proxies are priced per IP with no time expiration. Residential proxies are priced per GB of bandwidth consumed. Both models align costs with actual value received rather than arbitrary time windows.

Reliability Improvement

Proxy-Seller resells IPs from upstream providers, which means they have limited control over IP quality and availability. If an upstream provider has issues, your proxies are affected without Proxy-Seller being able to fix the root cause.

Hex Proxies owns its ISP infrastructure, giving us direct control over IP quality, network performance, and availability. When issues occur, our team can diagnose and resolve them at the infrastructure level rather than escalating to a third-party provider.

Migration Simplification Benefits

After migrating from Proxy-Seller, your proxy operations become dramatically simpler. No more tracking IP expiration dates, no more filing support tickets for IP replacements, no more managing proxy lists across environments, and no more custom rotation code in your application. This simplification frees your team to focus on your core product instead of proxy operations.
