Proxy Bytes

I have been neglecting this little blog but that will stop soon. I have a wealth of knowledge that I want to share with all of you. Here are some guides/tutorials that you can look forward to seeing

• advice on domain names
• Information about all the proxy scripts that I can find on the web
• Getting traffic
• designing the look
• where to get premade designs
• building backlinks and traffic
• And more about hosting & servers

On top of that I will be letting you know about different proxies that I come across.

Proxies are very resource intensive on servers so it is best that you get a dedicated server. Some hosting companies allow you to use their service to host a proxy but once it gets to intensive you have two options:

• Shut it down
• Upgrade to Dedicated

One of the things you can do to insure that you suffer minimal downtime is to get a dedicated server right from the beginning. It will save you the hassle of having to upgrade as your proxy gets more and more visitors. Of course, you may be thinking “What about just getting a VPS or shared account that allows proxies?” This is something that I strongly recommend that you don’t do as once your proxy starts getting popular you could get shut down and that could result in a loss of your money, and traffic as downtime is to proxies as green kryptonite is to Clark Kent.

If you are starting from scratch then you could always choose a host that allows proxies. Make sure you read over the hosting companies Terms of Service to be sure that proxies are allowed. If they offer a monthly or quarterly payment option choose one of them as it is most likely that you will have to upgrade or even switch hosts. Look out for an upcoming posts in which I will provide a list of hosts that allow proxies on their non-dedicated packages.

Thats it for today, be sure to look out for future posts about hosting companies, proxy scripts, and helpful scripts for running a proxy.
