    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?

    It is a nice idea. Pursue it.

    Just be careful with potential TOS/AUP and legal violations that could occur through clients' proxies.

    I'm going to agree with Mike on this one.

    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.

    I have seen the design multiple times, not to put your hopes down, but your probably not going to get that much.
