The Proxy Discussion Thread

Ok anyone out there going to offer me a "dual core processor with 3TB for 200$ or less" - save me talking to myself and searching on google lolololol

 

I'm very satisfied with my proxies even they only have a few days of life. It has been more an experiment, because I've changed ads, promotion methods, etc.

Now that I'm getting the hang of it I will start a proxy network and keep building sites until a dedicated server costs me less than shared.

As for .7% adsense conversion, that's very poor, nobody should aim at less than 3% in any kind of site. unless you get massive visits and light bandwidth.

 

I can provide you the bandwidth for the price, I just need to know what server specs you need.

www.cari.net have a dual core for $90 but $120 setup, so I'm sure you could haggle them downa bit

 

They don't have 3TB or more bandwidth and charge setup with only 1GB of ram. It's not what he's looking for.

So talk to them.

 

I can get you dual core processor with 2TB for $200. PM me if interested!

 

Has anyone tried the script from http://www.proxy-script.com . I'm not associated with them and I'm considering it, though.

 

No demo at all?

it must be a PHP coded proxy site

how ever i think the owner is a DPer (found his Email address )

 

You think anyone is smart enough to improve the already existing cgiproxy script which is better then all other proxy scripts combined. Of course its a phproxy.

zaczebra:
My suggestion to you is to go with a 10mbps unmetered server from Softlayer. You won't find better service overall for the price.

-
CGIproxy better than all other proxy scripts?

You call three times server resources of any other script better than all other proxy scripts?

Most people run proxy sites for revenue and to make the most you need to have a script that works and is as light on the server as possible.
I will not comprimise the huge server loads for slightly better handling of sites.

This is one of my highest traffic proxies.. When you're running a couple of these server load matters

 

I've notice that one of my sites for more than a month using my cpanel shows a great number of visits a day{2-4k} but according to my page impressions in Adsense its very different.


Is there anyway we can put a stop to this?

 

I can guarantee you that my proxies get way more traffic then you and that being said, the fact that your using webalizer to show of stats just proves how little you know about how proxies work and how no internal stat tracking script that comes with cpanel can properly keep track of proxy traffic (bandwidth or vists, it doesn't matter). Cgiproxy if properly configured does not use as many resources as most people think.

And yes, I am in the business to make money which is why I choose to use cgiproxy. I keep my users and my proxies grow with little effort unlike what phproxies which users only use if they want to use very simple sites. You can argue all you want, I don't really care. I've been working with proxies for over 2 years and you can't convince me otherwise.

As I mentioned above, cpanel can't keep track of visits properly.

That's an interesting claim. That's all it is and all it will remain.

I was not posting webalizer stats to say they are accurate but it gives you an idea.

I had no intention of arguing with you but if that's how you want to take it..
As for the rest of your comments.. Your an.. and I never liked you since way back on proxy.org forums.
That's why vbulletin has an ignore function. Thankfully.

 

To each his own. I don't want to argue either but usually people like to counter-argument so I just wanted to make it clear, they'd be wasting their time.

Guys,

I run 2 very samll proxy sites (each have around 150 visits/day). I was thinking of using GoDaddy's VDS that gives:

Bandwidth: 500GB/month
Hard Drive: 10 GB
Control Panel
RAM: 256MB Guaranteed, 1GB Bursted (not sure what that means)
They dont say anything about the CPU.
Price: 25.00/month

Anyways, is this enough to host upto 4 small PHP proxies with a total of say 800 hits a day? I am leaning towards GoDaddy because they are big, reputable, and I have used them in the past with no issues.

 

GoDaddy don't allow Proxy Sites

 

You can't run anything less than 384/512mb on a VPS if you're going to have cPanel.

You're probably looking at $40 min. for a decent VPS.

You can try Jaguarpc for VPS with full support.
.. godaddy is big, reputable for offering crappy hosting.

 

You can be fine with shared hosting - 300 visits/day are nothing - not even 1000

You should be looking at page views though - You will be fine until 100k pages/day

 

My VPS plan 512 will handle any small proxies without issue and is proxy servers/ VPS's are managed and optimized for proxy use including handling abuse complaints for you.
