    I'm looking for a host that will offer for proxy, I need something with over 40gig a month, but only 10gig of that is for the proxy, the rest is used for something else.

    Layeredtech for a unmanaged box, Liquidweb for a managed box, you'll have no probs with a proxy at either.

    My recommendation, get out of the proxy game. :)

    For $10 a month you will only get shared hosting and shared hosting can't cope with more than 200 or so visitors a day (your page just won't load). Maybe start off on a $10 a month shared hosting plan until you've got the funds together for a vps, at which point with good marketing your proxy can really take off (1000+ a day).

    For shared proxy hosting, try http://www.suprservices.com/

    I think it is first shared hosting that official accept php and cgi web based proxy sites and not expensive at all with Plan1 - 136.50 yearly.
    It looks as they are new hosting company and wonder of any proxy user have any experience with that hosting?

    Shared hosting shares your hosting with (many) others on one box. Once you start getting any sort of traffic on your proxy, you're going to be using a decent portion of the boxes resources: all shared hosts make provision for suspending or terminating users that use more than their fair share of resources. Ignore the xxGB traffic, xxGb space rubbish they include with the package, it's a scam, because to do that sort of traffic with a proxy you'll be eating up CPU and memory, and as such, you'll be using more than your fair share, and affecting other customers on the shared box. The first you'll know about it is a suspended page message where your proxy use to be, or a straight termination.

    Putting a proxy on a shared hosting plan is a recipe for disaster.

    As for "200 visitors", I'm not sure why that figure was used, to give you an example 200 visitors can literally equal thousands of page views and more (xx,xxx is not uncommon). If you do even half of these numbers you're not going to last 5 minutes on a shared plan...and hence my earlier recommendation, if all you want to do is spend $10/ month on a shared hosting plan, you're better off not doing proxies at all. If you're cautious, and know how to move a site fairly quickly, you can start on a basic VPS, you can pick them up from around $40/$50 per month, I say cautious because if your promoting your proxy and you're getting more users every day, eventually you'll outgrow this and need a dedicated box for it. Having said all of that though, if your proxy is well designed and you've got ads running, it should be paying for itself, if not at first but soon thereafter. To give you an idea, I've currently got 8 proxies on one dedicated server, I'm about to buy a second, they are paying for themselves x3.

    Well said nnet, you need to either find hosting that specializes in proxies, or leave the market.

    I used 200 because I'm currently sat at that position myself, no matter how much I marketed it it wouldn't go past 200 visitors, then when I checked the page it just wouldn't load up at all. With 200 visitors I get about 2,000 page views.

    Mine actually self-marketed - pretty neat!

    I spent ages trying to build up traffic, got bugger all results and then just gave up and let it be. Couple of weeks later all these blogs have picked it up somehow and free traffic is coming from everywhere :)

    It can take time, and it doesn't always make sense, same on the revenue side, my biggest proxy (13gb per day) makes about $3-$4 per day (adsense/ adbrite/ paypopups), one of my smallest proxies (although it's nearly a month old) with less than 20,000 pages on a couple of hundred visitors / day makes $10 a day via Adsense! Go figure :D

    you are new in proxies?!
    so do something small first
    look for something free or just Borrow/buy some space and bandwidth from whom have their own dedicated servers for proxy sites, if you are not sure of what you are doing
    promote and see whats your adsense click rate
    I myself begun proxy sites like this
    free host and free subdomains(although they banned me after realizing ...)
    i used to use host.sk for free host (now they have a straight solution for phproxy )
    free domain from , freedomain.co.nr



    *** decide what to have on your proxy page to have much more revenue
    for example some ads about friendfinder clubs _not affiliate,but ppc if you could find_

    some big adsense advertisements on first page
    adbrite ads on each unblocked page
    _in adbrite you could just accept proxy & adult related ads to have some more clicks_
