My Hosting Problem

After coming home from vacation, I am notified by my hosting that my shut had to be shut down due to bandwidth usage. I am also notified that I can no longer use their service because they cannot handle that just from one site.

Now my site, is a proxy site - http:/www.goldenproxy.info. So that too is a problem because not many hosting companies allow proxies. I am looking at different hosting like dedicated but the one I saw is $80 a month.

Now I would have no problem with that except I don't make anywhere near that yet. This is my first time working with proxies so I am on my way to make about $25 the first month from one site.

Now my second thought was maybe I could just put out some money to buy a server (physically -- like have it sit next to my computer) and it would work out in the long run. But after looking at that route I have found out it would cost quite more than $80 just for the internet connection I would need.

Wednesday, which is the day my host had to shut it down, it used 98gb of bandwidth.

So as you can see I am in quite a spot, but at the same time I am quite impressed that my advertising technique did work.

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Hello,

Get yourself a cheap VPS with some high bandwidth Looks like that is what you need, the VPS don't have to be so very expensive when you use LXAdmin or Webmin as control panel (Which is free)

We can offer you some great deals tho at http://vt16.com/vps/ if you are interrested Don't hesitate to contact us for any questions.

Thanks,
Freddy

 

Yeah mate, VPS looks like your best bet

 

I've talked to some VPS companies and none allow proxies to be hosted.

 

You could get a cheap dedicated server from me, But it depends how much bandwidth you think you would use

 

Hello Nick,

vT16 allow you to host your own proxy on your VPS

Get in touch for more information, trough phone, ticket or live support

Thanks,
Freddy

 

Assuming you don't need a cpanel, we have several low cost entry level option located here: http://hostdrive.com/bargain/

Starting at just $75 for a dedicated server, you can't go wrong..

 

What is your bandwidth requirement approximately per month?
We have a special deal for unmanaged Windows VPS: 20GB space, 512 MB RAM, 3 IPs, 350 GB per month for $49.95 BUT you pay 1 month and get 3 more for free. After the 4th month, price goes back up to $49.95.
So it's basically $12.50 per month for the first 4 months.

Let me know if you are interested

 

Hi there,

Like us, alot of providers will in fact allow proxies to be hosted on VPS's. We have a VPS plan that is specifically setup to run many proxy sites smoothly. Let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks.

 

I just ordered a VPS from LiquidWeb and I've been quite happy with it so far.

I have 2 dedicated servers and 1 VPS now.

I strongly recommend LiquidWeb as host.

 

Hi,
Mydosty.com Proxy specialized hosting plans could be the answer to your problem.
All Proxy hosting plans come with 100 Mbps port, which guarantees fast running proxies.
Cheap and quality Proxy Hosting I suggest you the Antimatter plan.

 

98GB of bandwidth - you must running an extremely good proxy site. Cool....

 

Hope your not running a proxy on that VPS fsmedia... LiquidWeb does not allow proxies or even references to any:

 

Big bandwidth usage is never a reason for a successfull proxy site. What matters most in a proxy is the quality of visitors. If the visitors are from U.S. and Europe it will give you good returns. But if the users are from Iran and Arabia, you won't even earn your hosting cost.

 

you can try getting a cheap server too(use a free control panel)
that will help in future and you cna use more proxies on the same server.

 

I believe that they americans or europinians do not need any proxy from US or EU.
Maybe just temporary. IMO

 

Not really referring to the US or EU home users, it's usually those from the universities, schools or corporate companies that have firewalls covering every single port, except 80.
