Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Having my own proxy service

[bambinou]

Hello,

At the moment I am paying about 30 dollars per month to hire 10 proxies.
I am a bit annoyed because it is only to check my ranking on Google and perhaps get a few high pr sites via a software, I don't use them much. I need to check google.com but because I live at the other end of the world, my local results are different from yours in USA, that's why I am hiring ips.
How can I set up my own little proxy site(only for me) and have about 10 ips.

Where do all these guys buy their ips from? How does it works please?
Could I pay far less by doing it myself?
Thank you,

Ben

You would end up paying less I presume as 10ips will cost you usually $10 and a budget vps is also $10 or under. So I would say you could probably save at least $10 that is if you could admin the server and setup the software yourself.

Simply buy a budget VPS (~$5-10/mo) and install Squid proxy server. The VPS will probably come with a couple of IP's.

You can find them anyware - find a cheap VPS, then install it. If you need more IP's, order them.

For a single user is a cheap VPS and use SSH as a Socks proxy. Does not get much easier than that!

I'd advise contacting some hosts and seeing if they can fill your IP needs as for accurate ranking checks these IP's would be better off being advertised from mixed locations, at least if you're interested in the geographical rankings.

You don't need a proxy actually. Just disable localization in Google.

As mentioned before, a VPS could fulfill your requirement afterall. And you may request from the host for additional Ips
