You better get a bloody good web host for your proxy

Hello everybody. I was just watching TV, we had Discovery turned on here and what I saw there reminded me of this blog again, just like I was thinkning about it minute ago. The reason is, American Chopper was building Go Daddy chopper and I have some Go Daddy experiences to share.

It is all about my proxy. I calculated that I can easily make a few bucks in a year or less if I invest about $45 USD to GoDaddy web host plan and one .info domain for a year. So I did and here are the results.

Just after few months of running my proxy I reached few hundreds of visits per day. And that was generating some traffic. Actually some more traffic. So at maybe third month of my proxy running I reached bandwidth allowed without any problems and transferred few GBs over my limits. So I thought, ups. And after that I've received payment invoice from GoDaddy. They wanted me to pay something over $400 USD for those few GBs over limit. Ups. I got scared at the moment, I ignored it and I'm still ingoring and not making any money from my proxy. They turned me off.

I made about $40 USD all together. So I am still missing few bucks. Not good. But I'm still a domain owner (I guess so) so I still might try to get a new host - special one, for proxies (and adult sites :) - and give it a try again with some small investment. I might get luckier than this last time. And I'll try to think of something different that could make me my few bucks. Any ideas? What's making money for you?
