Datacenter IP
An IP address assigned by a data center or cloud provider, typically flagged as high-risk by fraud-detection systems.
A datacenter IP is allocated to AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean, OVH, Hetzner, or another hosting provider. IP-intelligence vendors classify these as high-risk because legitimate consumer traffic rarely originates from them. Bank, payment-processor, and marketplace KYB pipelines automatically flag account opening attempts from datacenter IPs (which is what most VPN exit nodes are). For non-residents using a U.S. VPN, this is a common silent-rejection cause.
