Shared proxies, shared among other clients of the same company, are packaged from $50 per month for 50 proxies up to $1,300 per month for two thousand proxies. Price per proxy decreases on a linear basis as the number of proxies in the package increases. All packages come with no setup fee and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Promotional discount codes are also available on certain other web sites such as warriorforum.com.

MyPrivateProxy allows up to 100 simultaneous threads per proxy. Bandwidth of the connection is not limited. They have ten datacenters across the United States, each with from 1 to 6 gigabits of traffic.

Conclusion

MyPrivateProxy is one of the most flexible proxy sites, allowing connection to nearly everything except the obvious exceptions. It supports various search engine optimization tools such as Scrapebox, SenukeX, and TweetAdder. The ability to purchase from one to one thousand proxies gives a great scalability to its service offering. With the addition of a United Kingdom datacenter, and the promise of more to come in Europe, it brings international proxies to its service list. Add to those flexible options the fact that there is no limitation on bandwidth, and you have a winning service.
