South Africa datacenter proxies: dedicated IPv4 by city

How many IPv4 addresses does South Africa have?

AFRINIC, the regional internet registry for South Africa, had delegated 27,187,200 IPv4 addresses to organisations in South Africa by 19 October 2026. That is 0.74% of all IPv4 space delegated worldwide and ranks South Africa 20th of 240 countries and territories. Among the 22 countries on RackProxies it comes 16th, after Singapore (28,957,248) and before Switzerland (23,269,488).

Every free pool of IPv4 has run out, so a South Africa datacenter IP is a scarce, leased resource: that is why datacenter proxies are billed per IP and per month rather than per GB. South Africa also holds 5,375 IPv6 blocks of /32 size and 867 ASNs (network numbers). RackProxies sells IPv4 only; IPv6 is not sold yet.

Where are the datacenters in South Africa?

Johannesburg and Cape Town are the two South African hubs. PeeringDB listed 28 colocation facilities and 12 internet exchange points in South Africa on 19 October 2026. The exchanges with the most connected networks are NAPAfrica IX Johannesburg (544), NAPAfrica IX Cape Town (280) and JINX (208).

In South Africa, the buildings where the most networks are present are Teraco Johannesburg Campus, South Africa in Johannesburg (391 networks), Teraco CT1 Cape Town, South Africa in Cape Town (198 networks), Teraco DB1 Durban, South Africa in Durban (119 networks) and xneelo JNB1 (Formerly Hetzner SA) in Centurion (33 networks). The operators with the most facilities there in PeeringDB are Open Access Data Centres (8), Teraco (5), Africa Data Centres (3) and BEONLINE TWENTY FOUR SEVEN INTERNET GROUP (1).

Which IP will a South Africa datacenter proxy give me?

Each South Africa datacenter proxy is one IPv4 address from a South Africa hosting or transit network, yours alone for the 30-day rental. A lookup of its network shows a hosting ASN registered with AFRINIC, not a South Africa home broadband provider. Most databases place it in South Africa, often in Johannesburg; to confirm, run the datacenter IP check.

Which law applies when you collect data from South Africa sites?

South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) applies, enforced by the Information Regulator since 1 July 2021. Routing requests through a South Africa proxy does not move that responsibility: whoever collects personal data from South Africa sites answers for it. RackProxies is for public, non-personal data, tests of your own services and allowlisted access; the acceptable use policy lists what is blocked. Not legal advice.

How much do South Africa datacenter proxies cost?

As of October 2026, a South Africa datacenter IP costs $1.29 for 30 days, the same price as every other country on RackProxies; 100 IPs cost $59.25 ($0.59/IP). Prices are per IP and per 30-day rental, not per GB.
