About Rayobyte
Rayobyte is the dedicated-datacenter workhorse, selling raw US-hosted IPs by the rack to buyers who care more about consistency than frills.
A US operation that built its name on bulk dedicated IPs with generous replacement policies before expanding into residential traffic.
About GeoSurf
GeoSurf is the legacy brand running on reputation, with stable sessions and polished tooling that no longer justify the steepest per-gig price in our table.
An early mover that once defined premium residential proxying, it now competes mainly on stability and name recognition rather than price.
