Need a proxy hosting offer
Currently I’m using a VPN service at my home; it works fine. But my computer at my company cannot use this VPN due to limited user privileges. So I can only try to use web proxy to access the sites that have been blocked by my company and the GreatFireWall in China.
I searched on Google but found few such sites. According to my search, most VPS do not support web proxy. Some say they support HTTP proxy, but I cannot even configure that on my Internet Explorer at my company. I did just place an order on a site, but after purchase I realized there are no guides on its website, and when I connected to its FTP server and tried to upload Glype scripts, I failed.
That’s why I came here, hoping someone can give me an offer. I just need a hosting that supports web proxy. As for RAM, disk space and bandwidth, I don’t really know how much I need as I never used such service before. I can pay with Paypal. Also, your site shall not be currently blocked in China, like XPROXYHOST and VECTOR.
Of course, it will be even better if it also is a vps that can be used for other functions in addition to web proxy.

You can use any web proxy and install it on our VPS, like this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phproxy-plus/
I don't think you understand what a VPS is
you can install (almost) anything you want on it
Thanks, your website is? I want to take a look.
We allow private proxies to be hosted. Can view available plans at https://fast-hosting.net/virtual-servers (Use LET40 for 40% off)
Can only provide basic support though, so may not be what you're after. Can also ping 162.213.195.45 to see if you can access it from China.
The only thing you may be limited with on some vps providers would be kernel level access (eg, setting up tun/tap devices). But a web based proxy should be doable on just about any vps provider.
To udk,
I ping 162.213.195.45 and the latency is 260ms. Not sure it is fast or slow.
But it takes a little long time to open your website.
Probably want something on the west coast then. I believe ramnode offers servers in Seattle and you can't go wrong with them - http://ramnode.com
I searched on Google, ramnode seems to have a good reputation. Do you know if it support web-based proxy like Glype?
Just bought a 256ram plan on Ramnode; will try it now.
oops. This one is even harder to configure, and I cannot log in through SSH using the username and password provided.
Could you please recommend some other vps providers for me?
My requirements:
1. support web-based proxy
2. currently not blocked in China
3. managed VPS with Cpanel support. I am not a technical guy, even if I’m willing to learn, I can only use FTP client or Internet Explorer to manage the site at my Company.
4. no more than 10$/month. I can accept a little higher if it is really that good
I used Linode before, 20$/month is not a too high price, but I had no specific uses for the VPS then. Now I have one, but I don’t know if its supports web-based proxy. Also, How is Buyvm?
You cant get a "managed VPS with Cpanel" in $10 budget..
Yes, there are plenty of them, but I don’t know if they allow web-based proxy like Glype. Seems most don’t.
Sounds like you don't want a VPS but shared cPanel hosting that allows private web proxies.
You can try BuyShared: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1361680
But first check with them (http://buyvm.net/) if they allow private use of Glype or CGIProxy on their shared hosting.
Thank you colm, I posted a reply in that thread at WHT to ask them.
Why don't use a free proxy? In Internet have a lot of free Glype proxy sites.

I bought a 9 $ per year VPS plan from 123systems and using it as socks proxy. Very happy with it. There are downtimes every now and then but what am I paying them? Less than a $ a month so I am happy.

Hi,
Can you give more explanation about your reverse proxy service?
When i hear reverse proxy, i always think about nginx or cloudflare.
Free web-based proxies are not stable, and almost all of them are blocked in China.
For a very limited number of those not blocked, I have to try 5 servers provided before I can find a one that is useful. So I rather not to waste my time on such things.
Thank you all, finally I bought the cheapest 5$/year shared hosting plan at Buyvm. It seems to work fine.
Now my concern is that someone might GOOGLE it and use up my bandwidth. Is there a way to prevent this?
@acxing It's quite easy to setup user/pass access via cpanel. Or do it "manually" - just google .htaccess/.htpasswd password protect
Does it use glype?
@udk thanks, I'll google it.
@sitsuit , hey sorry for the late reply, our reverse proxies are run with HaProxy
we have a 2 locations which are France & Canada!
