Starting a proxy host.

[OttoYiu]

Hi, I noticed that quite a lot of people were looking for hosting for their proxy sites without getting suspended.

I need some advice until I would like to invest on the building of a proxy hosting site.

Do you think this is profitable?

I am planning to do a Pay as you use system for proxy sites since they don't really profit from the ads at first.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I might be interested in helping you because I hate this too but obviously you would need other sites too. I know there would be a way for sure. Just having the money is the problem.

I am planning to get a dedicated server and just use Webmin.

Webmin?

www.webmin.com --- a control panel.

I see, is it free or something?

:imho: usually getting proxy servers should be a separate servers rather than used for hosting other websites as well, if not it will affect your hosting clients.

weblord: I am going to start just a proxy host which only host proxy sites.

kjmz: Yes, it is free.

There is a reason why people don't want to host proxy sites. I can't imagine a server with nothing but proxies. It would be a stressful situation for sure.

I am going to get a cluster full of servers.

It will cost a large amount of money and it would not be cost effective, a person running their own server may just be cheaper in the long run

You will need powerful servers considering one proxy site can take up a whole CPU. It would take a good amount of money to invest.

How whole CPU?
Would you mind elaborating?
