    Well, I own [ Cloak Host ] offering specialized, quality proxy hosting services. Our highly optimized server hosts proxies only. Many satisfied clients from DP.

    Though we are a bit new in this arena, our service, support and server performance had got many satisifed clients. Yes, we stress on quality and not some fly-by $2/mo host as you see in the DP hosting offer forums.

    Being a proxy webmaster myself, I have a decent knowledge about this niche. So, before investing in a dedicated server or VPS, you can always use our [ proxy hosting plans ]...we promise, you won't be disappointed.

    We offer live phproxy speed test on production server. Please check the [ client testimonials ] too. Yes, to make things easy for a client needing to [ block specific countries ], we installed mod_geoip and published full documentation in 1 day...now guess how many hosts would do that!

    @dnordstrom : I remember having offered you our hosting plans, but you went with a provider because "they have the nicest website possible". I knew cosmetic things don't matter much and wished you good luck. Hope you made the correct choice this time! ;)

    Guys,

    I run 2 very samll proxy sites (each have around 150 visits/day). I was thinking of using GoDaddy's VDS that gives:

    Bandwidth: 500GB/month
    Hard Drive: 10 GB
    Control Panel
    RAM: 256MB Guaranteed, 1GB Bursted (not sure what that means)
    They dont say anything about the CPU.
    Price: 25.00/month

    Anyways, is this enough to host upto 4 small PHP proxies with a total of say 800 hits a day? I am leaning towards GoDaddy because they are big, reputable, and I have used them in the past with no issues.

    Using Godaddy for any kind of hosting is a bad idea...

    I was running a lot traffic host and it was using 4GB bandwidth per day...you'll probably need more than 100GB per month. ;)

    They put such a strain on shared servers. Buy Dedicated. You will be glad you did. Pm me if you need someone to help manage the server.

    I stopped running it since I couldn't find a decent host and I didn't much feel like selling. The main thing was that it was a PHProxy and the traffic was HUGE per visitor.

    You can contact me by IM or PM. I can help you get the proxy up and running again.
    The proxy season is in...why not make use of your site?

    We fully support phproxy and can help you with optimizations to get fast and responsive proxy.

    Go for some shared plans first and then move ahead with VPS and then ultimately with dedicated.
