Shared proxies are a set of IP addresses and are available to multiple users simultaneously. Although they are considered inferior to private proxies, shared proxies are suitable for the majority of web scraping tasks and are often the cheapest solution.

Datacenter proxies are not affiliated with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and come from remote (cloud) servers. They are great for when you need a stable connection and high speed or if you need to mask your IP address for certain reasons.

Datacenter proxies come from secondary companies, usually the cloud provider, and offer private IP authentication and anonymity. Many users can access the same datacenter proxies and use them simultaneously.

Datacenter proxy IP addresses are tracked to the corporation to which the datacenter belongs. Residential proxies hide your IP address that belongs to Internet Service Provider (ISP) and makes it hard to block, as it acts as an actual user online.
