Unless I did something wrong, in two days, my *one* proxy ate up 25gb of bandwidth. all the proxy hosting sites that I have checked that offer proxy hosting give anywhere between 10gb to 200-300gb. (but thats paying like 40$). Am i missing something here? thanks for the reply. means alot.
sure my proxies use in excess of 70GB per day and I have even installed bandwidth/cache handlers. I use WDservers. http://www.wdservers.com also their DP username is thewird.

Hi If your really into the proxy business and need solid hosting, i would recommend wdservers or search for thewird sales thread in the hosting section. I've been with thewird for a while now and the support is first class.
Thank you for the suggestions, I will look into those. My current shared host does not like proxies and it is against their TOS, so I had to take it down. Though, I realized that I made about $13-14 with it overnight so I want to replace it as soon as possible.
I just sent an email to them (Servage) and this is what I received back.... "Thank you for your interest in Servage Hosting. I am sorry we do not host proxy contents. "
Thats why you should never trust advice from someone providing an affiliate link. He's clearly not using the service for proxies himself, or he would have known its not acceptable. His sole reason for recommending them was to try and earn from your clicks.
Its why I decided to point it out in the open for everyone in the future to see *grins* hah. Anyways, I decided to try out WDserver. I have signed up with an account. After all the extras, 40$/mo for a great size. Hostgator Dedicated has horrible prices for what I am looking for. :|
I would stick with wdservers. Although generally people do get banned for hosting proxy sites on web hosting companies who do not support these sites or against the rules, i do admit i hosted mine with Godaddy for 3 months, and never got suspended. Basically what i am trying to say here is as long as you are prepared to change your hosting QUICK because i am sure when the hosting companies realise your hosting proxy sites they will not send you a formal email or anything it would just be a quick press of the button (so to speak) then you should be fine. However for anyone planning to stick with proxy sites for a long term investment i do advise getting decent web hosting with a company who allows proxy sites.
Dude, i like that blue haven proxy theme, you should convert that theme into a glype theme also. I would like to use it.
