    Sorry guys didnt know where to post this. I just bought www.1pxy.com - it's a proxy site and i had it on my reseller account for a few days then my host www.crucialp.com suspended the account for using too much server resource. I contacted the guy i bought it off and he told me that he had basically the same problem with his host not allowing proxy sites (didnt tell me that at the point of sale:confused: )
    So basically I was wondering if any of you know where I can safely host my proxy site - it was getting around 500 uniques/day.

    You may be able to do a VPS account (virtual private server), depending on bandwidth. That's what I use. $49.00 a month. It's also possible to filter your traffic by country of origin. That way you only have the bandwidth of select countries which you can best monetize.

    Wrong forum (at time of posting).

    VPS might be enough for your proxy. Ask the last owner how much bandwidth is used a month. VPS 40 bucks a month is usually provided 250 GB.

    The thing about proxies is that if their not fast people stop using them, I had my first proxy on a VPS and it was terrible, people hated it. (Not to mention the load it put the server under)

    Remember your sharing one machine with several people...

    I have the same problem. I bought a proxy and hosted it along with other sites, went great for couple of weeks, then got hammered by host saying using too much resources.

    I suspended the proxy script and just have the template up. The website is http://www.earn-world.com Has PR and receives about 40 visitors a day from google.

    Would also be interested to know, if I can get a good proxy host for cheap or I would get rid of this site.

    Thanks

    i've got a few dedicated servers with ev1servers.net and haven't had any problems. You might look into them for hosting.
