You need to ask the hosting provider to setup proxy shield for your dedicated server. It won't be possible for you to do this and hence you should contact the hosting provider and ask him to setup proxy shield. However, you should make sure that the charges of Proxy shield are high and hence you should consider it only if it is necessary.

Well, it wouldn't be a good option to claim this on a public forum, however, as unlimited disk space and bandwidth is not possible, the answer is ... ;)

Well, the charges depend on the hosting provider you choose for the hosting services, however, as far as I know, the charges of proxy shield are quite high.

Again, the charges of proxy shield depends on the hosting provider you choose. It is better to confirm with your hosting provider about the charges of proxy shield as they will be able to help you out with the pricing.
