ProxyPick — Self-Hosted Proxy VPS Chooser

Recommend the right VPS by use case and budget, with one-click network comparison

Problem

Multiple users repeatedly ask which server to buy for self-hosted proxies: some want cheap US, UK or Japan boxes just for proxying, others want a Hong Kong box for streaming and found recommended vendors too slow. Info is scattered across forum replies with no use-case based chooser.

Solution

Filter VPS vendors by use case (proxy, streaming, dev), target region and budget, showing measured latency, bandwidth, whether common streaming services unlock, plus referral links and community scores. Users can submit speed tests to build crowdsourced data.

Users

Chinese-speaking developers, remote workers and streaming users who need self-hosted proxies or lightweight overseas servers.

MVP

Filter vendor list by region and use case; show price, datacenter location and streaming unlock status; simple community speed-test scores; affiliate purchase links; browse without login.

Revenue

Affiliate commissions as main revenue, plus paid placement and a subscription for advanced filtering.

Why now

Demand for self-hosted proxies persists, but information is fragmented in forum threads and mainstream review sites focus on English enterprise use cases, leaving a gap for lightweight Chinese-first tooling.
