Setting Up A Proxy Website

My Top 3

A proxy website allows you to enter the URL of a blocked website and access it bypassing any restrictions. There are loads of proxy website out there and the main reason is its easy to setup however many are blocked by web filters soon after launch.

I have run a couple of proxies in the past however was missing something i felt important and haven’t done since. Here I will guide you through how to set one up.

What Domain should I have?

The first step is to choose a good domain name. In my opinion this can be anything that you want. Feel free to include words such as proxy, school, college, unblock, surf, and alike or have an anonymous name that is less detectable. The success will come from the marketing of your proxy and not entirely the name. My advice here is to choose a memorable name that users will not forget. Remember if you are going to have lots of sites, pick a cheap domain extension.

Where do I Host my proxy?

This is one of the key elements in proxy hosting. You need a fast host to satisfy your visitors and one that can support large amounts of traffic. Many of the hosts I came across as a web host would not host proxy sites due to them taking up large amounts of sever resources. This is why its a good idea to pick a host that is happy to host proxies.

When I setup my proxy I used Hagio Host They were very helpful and had my account setup in minutes. Although an uninvited move, they added my MSN and spoke to me about my hosting and the creation of my package.

You want me to code a proxy script?

No, if you have the skills then why not. With my abilities I wisely chose to use a ready made script. You can download it here at Free Proxy Templates. The script is ready built into the template so just download, configure and upload to your server.

I am unsure of the current situation, however i believe that development for this script has stopped. This means that there may be issues with websites where features do not work with this script. For up to date information i recommend registering here and taking part on this forum.
