    I don't think there is such a cheap hosting for you. You need to buy your own server.

    Simply not possible man! Proxy sites eat up huge bandwidth and system resources. Even VPSs and dedicated boxes sometimes get overloaded due to proxies...I'm wondering how you are still running that proxy on that cheap host...they should have kicked you out of the box asap.

    I guess you have very little knowledge about proxies...how they function..etc...else, one can't expect questions like "why its eating up so much b/w" from a proxy site owner!

    Ask yourself: why exactly are you running a proxy? It seems to me that you don't know why they take a lot of bandwidth...so you probably don't know what a proxy does (if you did, you'd understand why they eat resources). As the others said: you'll need VPS min but more likely your own box, and they don't come cheap.

    Yes I have a little knowledge on Proxy servers.I am explaining what I know:
    Please explain more !!!

    Proxy sites will hide all the informations about the surfer from all around the internet.
    When a user surf through the proxy the details are passed through the server and reach the user.Since a proxy site make a lot of bandwidth.

    Please explain more about proxy and help me providing a hosting space that allow proxy for low cost.

    You know that a proxy hides the information, right? think about it, how does it hide the information? it hides it by essentially loading the pages your visitors want to look at ON YOUR SITE/ SERVER. Think about it like a TV set, you watch things on TV right? your the TV, your visitors are your viewers, and every site they visit is like changing a channel, but remember, you're providing all the content. Hence: high bandwidth.

    we dont tease you, but most of use have out own proxies on our own dedicated server because of server resource usage, and bandwidth.
    you cant use a free or really cheap host because they kick you off because you use up too much cpu usage/ram

    Just so you know,

    To use a simple analogy.
    You are trying to fit a round circle through a square hole.

    It just wont happen.

    You are trying to get something for a stupid amount of money.

    Do you have any idea how much resources a proxy uses?

    I didnt until I set up one on my servers, its not running on a spare 3.0Ghz Dual Xeon server with 4GB RAM. Granted this is overkill, but try running a proxy on dreamhost or something. Firstly you would get shut down immdiately but secondly most of there plain HTML pages take ages to load. In a shared environment you will get what you pay for.

    In addition, you dont want oversold bandwidth.

    I dont thinkyou understand theprinciples of a proxy anyway, I think you should read up a lot more on them before you make a proxy site instead of spamming 3 threads of the same topic in multiple forums on the boards.

    Incidently, if you were to run your proxy site on the same spec server Im running it on, (theres only one other site hosted - its practically dedicated) it would probablky cost 400$ :)

    Anyway... www.godaddy.com buy VPS and be done.

    You can get a good duel xeon with 4gb memory with 2tb bandwidth for under $300/month. Also, I'd stay far away from godaddy for hosting a proxy. There are much better vps providers out there.

    Was that a typo? Did you mean $200/month? You can pick up a reasonable dedicated with unmetered bandwidth with 1-2 Mbps guarateed for that if you shop around. A VPS is an inexpensive stop-gap measure but not recommended for busier proxy networks. If you want to get the most out of your proxy, my friend, you have to put a little more in ;)
