# When and how to use regional IPs?

Sometimes websites offer different localized versiones for each country. This
is common in retailer websites, for example. You would have bigretailer.com for
the US market, bigretailer.uk for the UK market, bigretailer.es for the Spanish
market, etc.

You can often achieve better success rates when accesing these localized
versions from IPs in the corresponding region/country.

Smart Proxy Manager offers regional IPS to achieve this purpose. You can create
a new Smart Proxy Manager user with the region you want to use or edit the
users to change the regions it uses.
