Most of the time Proxy sites can mean bad things to a server, one reason you most likely would be hunting down a proxy is because it's using up all your resources- That's one of the main reasons people don't allow them on their servers, how do I locate a proxy site on sever?

Spamers shield their identity or source. They usually do this by taking over servers, computers, hijacking mail servers, or exploiting an e-mail account but often a proxy can be used to shield the spammers IP. It's typical for basic hacking programs to allow for proxy use as well. Proxies can be good (filters), bad (bypass filters) or ugly(malicious use).

I found a few interesting nuggets. I'm really curious what you, the community, think about this.

General consensus amongst knowledgeable buyers is that 'Unlimited' is shady. You're selling something you can't actually provide and relying on your TOS to cover your rear from a 'legal' standpoint.

General consensus amongst hosts is that 'Unlimited' is the same thing the industry has been doing effectively since overselling started happing. Nothings changed but the date, and the numbers.

Here are the pros/cons I see:

+ Cheap
+ direct access to my server
- super slow up-speed (768kb), still at near zero load the initial web page load is ~8-10sec (bad..but not horrid), after that 1 second load.
+/- Have to do everything myself (already done) (well this is good for learning), but I admit I am no security expert, but I do know how to setup a hardware firewall which is in place.
+ Can control Hardware/dedicated hardware (currently 4GB/dual core AMD) (I suspect this will be superiour to a hosting service at $30.0).
- No backup process (as of yet)
- NO Verified SSL Cert installed (and not running Native AJP) yet...
