noob here well, i was thinking that besides the fact that many webhost have free trial, there would be the advantage that they're niche vpn
With PHP you could send commands to client/server
The question is. Do people do this? Is it there anykind of measure webhosting companies take to regulate this?
I tried it but seems like php works slow doing this kind of tasks

I usually see more captchas when going through my VPS. That's probably because it's not a residential IP address. Youtube has gotten really picky lately, they will probably make you sign in after watching a couple of videos.
