Proxy experiences...

What experience have people had with running proxies? Good...bad..?
I have just had my host suspend my account, and tell me I had to remove my proxies before they let me back on it :/ So...I did.
Currently looking for a decent host (not to pricey...) to host me proxies on.
Any suggestions greatly appreicated!

 

Mine are hosted on a dedicated server from 1paket, costs me $75 a month.

You really should go dedicated with proxy websites

 

Yes....although $75/m is quite steap.
if you don't mind me asking...what return do you get on your adsense from your proxies? I take it it well covers the hosting costs?

 

I run a proxy on my own server, the issue with proxies is that they use up a lot of server resources especially if they get a lot of hits, and since most host run shared servers you'll run into problems with finding web host that will allow you to run a proxy site. My suggestion find a VPS or dedicated server since it would give you more freedom over what you can run on them.

 

I use it on my server with no problems but sometimes it overloads when it recieve alot of hits revenue is not much as ads are not blended well i am working on new template in which ads will be blended

In my guide (www.proxyguide.org) I recommend www.tektonic.net for VPS and www.managemybox.com for Dedicated

 

Managemybox.com offer is interesting but I saw this on their policy

 

That seems to be the terms of most web hosts...unfortunately!

 

This is because many pepole use proxies for illegal purposes!!

Try virpus.com for a VPS hosting. They allow proxy sites.

 

Another vote here for Virpus, they rock

 

Server4sale.com allow proxies. No IRC though.

Annoying as hell lol, too much resources... ugh

 

Any idea why there seems to be an unlimited amount of website proxies yet there are limited failure stories? Why don't visitors mainly go to a select few sites?

 

May be because ppl always sold their proxy site before it go down the hill when it got lots of users and use up server resource. It's easy to build a proxy site but hard to build a reliable proxy site that can serve lots of users.

Thanks for the rep ian

 

I am getting an error at your guide in:

http://www.proxyguide.org/theguide3.htm

 

I agree with you Shade88..Many user opens proxy sites and shut it down becuase of resources..

I think dedicated hosting really is the only option, unless you go "undercover".
