## Why use a Cardiff IP rather than a country-level IP?

A city IP shows what people in Cardiff actually see. Check Welsh and English versions of local sites, Cardiff search results and Wales-targeted ads from a home IP in the capital.

Country-level IPs can land anywhere in United Kingdom. For local search, store stock, delivery slots and regional ads, the city matters.

As the capital of Wales, Cardiff produces nearly 20% of Welsh GDP with about 10% of its population. Health (15.0%), public administration (11.5%) and education (11.0%) are the largest sectors among about 227,000 employee jobs (BRES 2024).

## Which ISPs serve Cardiff?

Home broadband in Cardiff comes from BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Vodafone. Residential proxy IPs are addresses these ISPs assign to subscribers, so they look like ordinary local households.

Geolocation databases sometimes label an IP with a nearby town such as Newport, Penarth. Plan your checks to accept the wider area. Check any exit IP with our [ASN lookup guide](https://pontproxy.com/guides/check-proxy-asn/).

## How do I target Cardiff in my proxy username?

Add the country code and the city to your username: `USERNAME-country-gb-city-cardiff`. Add `-session-<id>-ttl-<minutes>` to keep the same Cardiff IP up to 60 minutes.

Connect to `gw.pontproxy.com` on port `7777` (HTTP/HTTPS) or `7778` (SOCKS5). Code samples are in the [quickstart guide](https://pontproxy.com/guides/quickstart/).

## Cardiff proxies: FAQ

### Will a Cardiff IP switch websites to Welsh?

Usually not by itself. Bilingual sites normally choose the language from the browser's Accept-Language setting or from a language switch on the page. To test Welsh pages, set the browser language to Welsh (code 'cy'). Use a Cardiff IP at the same time to see local search results and Wales-targeted ads.

### How much do Cardiff residential proxies cost?

Cardiff residential proxies cost the same as any other location at PontProxy: from $0.36/GB, with 1 GB for $0.95 (paid from a $25 minimum top-up; the rest stays on your balance — never expires, non-refundable) and 10 GB for $5.90. City targeting is included at no extra cost. Unused traffic never expires, and you pay in crypto with no KYC.

### Can I keep the same Cardiff IP for several minutes?

Yes. Add a session ID and a TTL to your username and the gateway keeps the same Cardiff exit IP up to 60 minutes. Without a session ID you get a new IP on every request. Both modes work with HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.

### Do I need to verify my identity?

No. PontProxy asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents, in line with the GDPR principle of data minimisation. You sign in with an account number, and email is optional. Use is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which blocks banking, government and payment targets.
