Does it have a chance?
About three months ago i started the idea of making a proxy hosting business and got a website ready and stuff. But then i just stopped working on it and it has been sitting and doing nothing.
the website is www.theproxyhoster.com
do you think it would have a chance or should i just scrap the whole idea?<<< Please see Forum Guidelines for signature setup. >>>

It is a nice idea. Pursue it.
Just be careful with potential TOS/AUP and legal violations that could occur through clients' proxies.

I am suspicious about proxy hosting - it may be used to pass through bans, to spam and so on. My own forum is bombarded with spambots and even ban cannot stop them: today they come from proxy A, tomorrow - by proxy B.
However, if you are sure in this business and will make some precautions against bad people - fine, go for it.

I don't think proxy hosting is what it used to be. I was never a fan of it and I don't know anyone who actually is.
