Nice and interesting,

I would like to know just one more information. How much bandwidth will be required for just 1 proxy per month? I like to know an average figure in GB.

I already have an account that gives me 3500 GB bandwidth but they do not allow proxies to be hosted in that account. Thats why I am looking for an alternative.

Cheers!

 

totally depends on the traffic thing
for a 2000 hits a day proxy site
you would need at least 6-7 gig a day

 

Then his starter plan will freeze in 10 days time for that bandwidth.


Also what about the payment for your hosting? can I pay monthly?

 

Well, well, well...3.5TB shared/reseller plans for running proxies?...gimme a break. (they don't allow proxies you say, but those who try those plans for proxies simply fail in days) I'm not dishonoring anybody, but they have to research and learn a lot before even testing the proxy waters. And maintaining sustained 2k unique visitors to your proxy is something difficult...and browsing habits for the visitors vary everyday. Many variables...so nothing to be forgranted.

Anyway, a lot of bandwidth can be saved by optimizing your proxy script, disabling hotlinking and blocking countries like iran,china,etc. I run a proxy network myself and use far lesser amount of b/w than you guys are projecting.

BTW, DirectAdmin control panel we use counts only 35% of incoming+outgoing transfer.

Yes, payment cycle is monthly.

 

Wow... thanks a lot for the bandwidth mod! Proxy website does bring in quite a bit of $$$... I hope mine does just as well.

 

Yeah it a 3.5TB bandwidth just for my account in shared hosting which I do not even use 100GB but still I am not allowed to have a proxy site. I can have any number of other websites in that account but not a proxy one. Thats why I am looking for an alternative to start a proxy site.

How much do u think normally a proxy site can go maximum in bandwidth?

Cheers!

 

As I said previously, lots of variables...but most well configured mid-traffic proxies don't even use up 100GB monthly as far as I've seen.

Why most don't allow proxies is because of their high resource consuming nature. Read more about it on our website.

 

cPanel as well but ptoblem is that the request passes on the server twice

once when it's coming from the target site to the server and again when it's coming out of the server to the proxy user so it's double the bandwidth recorded in the control panel plus the usual differences between control panel calculations and mtrg logging from the switch so yeah you will end up seeing like 100GB of the control panel and it's actually like 200-300Gb from the switch

 

just for everybody's information i recently bought a VPS for myself and if anyone is willing to share the costs and the bandwidth then please PM me. i think this can mutually benefit both of us

 

That might not be a good solution...cause I've seen VPSs crashing often running a few proxies. Mainly due to system overheads and low hardware limits as opposed to specialized shared proxy hosting where you can use full dedicated box's resources on demand.

 

my VPS server load remains lower than 1 and it is rocking till now. i think it can easily handle some more proxies

 

I have a proxy mail out list which has grown to 1,950 people in the past week so i am selling it for 100$ so have your own mail out list and promote your own services for free. the ultimate deal for your proxies.

 

How do you go about blocking countries and does anybody have the code already filled with the bad countries you want to block.

If so pm me and i may buy it off you

Is it a good idea to block some countries that give bad traffic and just use your bandwidth

Thanks

IS it worth blocking some countries. IF so which ones

I have just reduced my max file size to 200 kb

Thanks

 

China. That's about it.

I want ask something. If our proxy get banned by school, is it banned domain name or Ip address for that domain name?

 

I guess only the site is blocked.....You can access the site by its ip address .
You can find the ip address of a website here

 

This is in case you have a dedicated ip assigned to your domain

anyways, they block the site itself depending on domain name and content

their filter software looks for some keywords and block sites containing those keywords
