Creating a fully automatic proxy website setup "Need Guidance"

Hello, Hope everyone is fine.

I need guidance from your experience I would appreciate it if you could guide me.

Basically, I am planning to start a fully automatic proxy website I know about developing the website, panel, and everything complete full setup, but the main issue is I don't know about the API and how to deliver the proxy automatically via the API system.

I have checked some websites they provide 4 types of proxy. I am planning to build a website similar to this one "https://iproyal. com/"

1, residential proxies
2, datacenter proxies
3, isp proxies
4, mobile proxies

I am thinking of using Digital Ocean, We can create the system via Digital Ocean for these 4 proxies? I would appreciate it if could guide me with with proper details, if we hire someone to create the API system how much is the estimated cost, and where I can get the API service for the proxies system?

After creating the panel and website setup, we can add an API system? Lastly, one thing normally totall how much cost to build a proper proxies system website with panels and premium level.


Also, share your experience about the proxies setup if we missing anything. Thank you

You can use any VPS provider to host your platform on but to source those 4 types of proxies you would need to either make them yourself or get cheap providers that are ok for you to resell their services. Making them yourself would be incredibly expensive and complicated, easily will go $500k+ to support all 4 types mentioned and to have somewhat acceptable supply to offer your clients.

Approx costs for setting everything up platform related would highly depend on your location and from where you would source engineering work, I would estimate $25-80k for platform only, without proxy sources.

You can try go cheaper by using things like wordpress+whcms or similar combinations, then you could probably get yourself under 10k in costs.

Know-how is incredibly important in this business, you are clearly lacking it, why do you even want to go into a business you don't understand? that's built for failure from the beginning.

If i am thinking of reselling, can we create the automatic system ? and please also recommend some resselling providers, basically these project involve other members as well and they are thinking to create automatic setup with digital ocean, If I am choose the all 4 types of proxy setup system as you say the cost up to 500k$ its really huge budget not possible at the moment, what about the choose 1 proxies type with digital ocean with low price ?

I am based in Pakistan, I have developers but they are not experience in API or related to proxies project.

Yes, we have the same planning to build the website on Wordpress and panels with combinations, but its not a issue, developers are ready to build the website and panels complete setup with your mention budget, I am confuse in API systems and deliver automatic proxies.

Yes, I don't have a good knowledge about proxies, the reason for posting on the BHW community to learn from an experienced person like as you .




Thank you for share your feedback and your valuable suggestion I am really appreciate it, and development the setup its not problem, I am stuck digital ocean API configuration, I am highlight the issues.



I am okay with 1-2 proxies type, which type proxies we choose for digital ocean and high demanding ? and which one provider you recommend Digital Ocean or resselling providers ? but the team thinking about Digital Ocean if you can guide me some about digital ocean its really help for me.


Thank you.

Regarding the API:

As lucky.sparks correctly noted, you'll likely be buying the proxies from various wholesale suppliers. Then, you'll collect them on your side and resell them to final customers.

The process of gathering proxies in bulk from different suppliers requires working with APIs. However, the biggest technical challenge might not be the APIs themselves, but managing the backend. This involves efficiently managing the flow of proxies you collect and distributing them to clients. In simple terms, an API is just the "end" of what you get from your proxy suppliers. Your job will be to connect these ends to your backend system, process them there, and then display them on your website (and also provide your own API "ends" for your clients).


Aanswers to some of your questions:

"We can create the system via Digital Ocean for these 4 proxies?"
> Yes, Digital Ocean is a good hosting provider where you can host your solution on their servers.

"where I can get the API service for the proxies system"
> This question isn't quite correct because in reality, you will need to create an API + backend system from scratch. It's like building a complex shopping center in a specific city. Such things aren't sold as ready-made "turnkey" solutions like modular homes.

"if we hire someone to create the API system how much is the estimated cost"
> You'll need to look for a good backend developer because, in this case, the API is just one tool; the main work is on the backend. Budgets can vary widely, but building such a system is unlikely to be within the capabilities of a developer with less than senior-level experience.

$500,000 is way over the price you are estimating in this thread, and $25,000 for setup is quite ridiculous. The API is very simple, and I've known plenty of sites to start with a estimated cost of $5,000

oh really, how much would you estimate to get yourself only 1 of 4 OPs requirements: residential proxies with let's say 30M world wide pool. Requirement is to have your own, not to resell Chinese hackers.

You have no idea how much engineering costs, do you? OP want's website/platform like iproyal. Not like primitive one-pager like your website

API integration is one thing, building full website, unique design, full features including various payment options etc etc, 25k is a bargain, again you lack understanding of how much does these things cost.

Things need to be secure in SaaS integrating infrastructure which is something people forget about.

It's not just web dev.

You can buy some website clones on the internet for $100 but they'll probably have more bugs than my head when I'm sick.

Some amateur can integrate, even for free. But I wouldn't expect good outcomes in the future.

I wouldn't like someone to get access to all my proxies because I went cheap with developers.

I believe fully automated website could be something like sellix or something where you simply send stuff like proxy details in text form on payment.


That'd be almost free.


Bootstrap your project instead of doing high costs things. Sell your first mobile proxy first. Then buy ten phones and do some proxies on them.

I literally own my own proxy site, and know countless other (30+ websites) that i am friends with in the market. It's really not this expensive.

If you are wanting to create your own pool, expect a minimum of $500,000 investment, if you wish to make a re-seller site, I can literally redirect you to multiple developers that i know which will build you such re-seller sites, for under $5,000.

Thanks for your input, but my primitive one pager is doing around $30,000 revenue monthly. You should research before you speak on a knowledge you are not confident in.

that's EXACTLY what I said, 500k if OP want's their own pool was my estimate.

I do own my own mobile proxies in 4 countries, my own devices, I do not resell anything. You on other hand are a clear reseller tho so why you even try to argue here

First of all, congratulations on your idea. It's an ambitious project especially if you're planning to build and launch it single-handedly. However, it's entirely possible for an experienced developer to efficiently build such a SaaS app.

You can complete the whole API flow using JavaScript very easily. I suggest using the Django framework for the backend if you have basic knowledge of Python. It has excellent features and is easy to build and customize a SaaS app using the Django framework. You can set up an API using JavaScript alone. You can use apps in the backend to automate the process of delivering proxies and managing subscriptions. If you have any specific questions regarding the same, let me know.

Me too buddy, me too.

Thank you to everyone for your guidance and suggestions, I have decided to create a website + custom panel and reselling source from any 3rd party and integrate through the Apis, but unfortunately, I don't know about 3rd party services please recommend some best 3rd party sources names, Thank you in advance.

Not easy!!

It's fun how many proxy providers "discourage" you.
Btw less skills = more expenses.

Wrapping couple APIs and building a webapp is not a crazy operation.
Better you start learning if you want to provide a network service

@lucky.sparks
Have you deleted your post , where you said that you ignore posts of people that have 1000 posts and "just 100 reactions"?
That actually says more about your dumbass character than about the reaction indicator, think about that.
Idiot.

I would advise you to start re-selling first in order to better understand each stage of the work and generally understand whether something will work out or not. It will be extremely difficult to make from scratch

Yes I like to check this ratio, you are a good case study why others should do the same. Feel free to add me to your ignore list if you feel offended by my preferences to avoid people like you. Post isnt deleted tho, i stand by what I said. Your comment here is so off the topic.. smh
