Making a living off the internet is it possable?

 Are you just running the 6 proxy websites off of it? Or are all your websites on the server? The reason why I ask is I am trying to get a idea on what one server can handle. I would love to do proxy websites for the money but I would want to be able to develope other websites as well and not have them suffer from the proxy websites.

My Plan is to host there not more than 8 proxies (curr. 7) and also other sites (arcade, myspace, bigger files)

thats why I need that ram upgrade, from 5pm till 11pm (CET) the server is very busy now

but CPU usage and server load is very cool

their is another way to make money with proxies and keep bandwidth low, but it requires a hell of a lot more work

Introducing the Private Proxy
I got out of the main stream proxy business and instead now have 4 Proxies they are located 2 US, 1 Europe, 1 Australia.
Each is a dedicated server running both a web based proxy and squid set up.

I then run a "security club" this club has membership fees which are where I make my money and in exchange they get access to the proxies, now the reason its a lot more work to convince people to stamp up cash every month, they have to believe you are giving value for money so for that money they get...

Access to those proxies,
hardware based firewall, anti spam and mail filtering (basically they can access our VPN and run life through that)
in addition to running through the proxies they can also request to be passed through the tor network (this is done server side, and is an option in the members area)
A nice magazine (no I'm not joking)

Price well I'm not going to say but its more then I would have ever got running multiple proxies and its guarentted every month, I currently have a waiting list with more then 50 names and the network never has more then 25 subscribers at any one time.

Interesting concept Tim. I was thinking to create something similar, but it is just sitting as an idea as I don't have enough time to develop it.

It only works if you aim at high end user group, our clientèle is a mix of Security engineers, people based in parts of the world that have access issues, specialist web site owners and a few individuals who just want some basic security and privacy and are willing to pay for it.

I guess you can use the "freaky" web proxies to promote that kind of service...(get some rich porrn surfer form the middle east as customer )

true, but its a can of worms I prefer not to open, while clients privacy from prying eyes is the "clubs" first concerned we also don't allow using our services for certain "activities" and we do watch occasionally

right that is the bad site of services to provide some privacy, there are several webmasters getting in touch with the FBI because some user has used their proxies

At least I don't know someone who make serious money from such sites, and the reason is the duplicate content.

i do.

The only way to achieve that with MFA is going black hat, and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone as it will probably cost you your adsense account.

it is also possible with grey hat techniques. and your account will not get banned. here is a tip with adsense: pick a not so competitive niche and hitch a ride with an authority website like Squidoo.

My oldest proxy is 9 month old and has still visitors (500-1000 a day)

That sounds good.

Yes you can certainly make a lving, but you have to work hard and spend hours everyday treating it like a job for at least 2 or 3 years.  You have to really take it serious and learn SEO and become creative etc etc.  You can't spend 2 or 3 hours online on one website and expect to make a thousand bucks a month after one year.
