Proxy hosting companies & resources. 

Proxy hosting differs from conventional web hosting in many ways. Proxies are resource hungry, the hosting environment requires server tweaking & monitoring. This usually means modifying web server configuration to accommodate proxy script requirements & blocking non-productive & risky traffic, if required. Because of the extra workload involved, majority of the web hosting companies do not allow web proxy hosting particularly with their shared hosting plans.

Choosing the right hosting partner would play a major role in any successful proxy business. Different proxy scripts have different requirements. CGI scripts like CGIProxy consume memory while PHP scripts like PHProxy, Glype & Acio need lot of CPU processing.

We have compiled a list of hosting firms specialized in proxy hosting. As a proxy webmaster, you are encouraged to do your own research about a company before you decide to use them.
