Re: [twitter-dev] Hosted proxy server service?

Setting up an open (or private) proxy in an attempt to get around our rate
limits will possibly result in your application or IP being banned.

The rate limits are there so that everyone can share the service.

[twitter-dev] Hosted proxy server service?

2010-07-23 Thread Ryan W
I've given up trying to get anything done with Twitter Search API from
Google App Engine because of the rate limiting.  Are there any
services that provide just proxy hosting, where I can pay a few bucks
a month to get a dedicated IP and proxy server running?  I'd like to
keep it simple and avoid the full VPS option, but it's difficult to
wade through the noise when googling to see if such a service exists.

Looks like most VPS providers charge $2/month for a dedicated IP.
Somebody with an existing
VPS could even offer such a service.
