Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what Forumotion publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.
The record we hold
The domain is forumotion.com.
Forumotion is not in our priced record, so nothing about their rate appears below. That gap is stated rather than filled, which is the only honest option available.
Note the price, the unit it is quoted in, the minimum, and the expiry. Unit and expiry are where most comparisons in this market quietly go wrong.
What Forumotion says about itself today
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Create a free forum, FORUMOTION". In the description they hand to search engines: "Create a free forum : free forum hosting, free forum skins, templates editing, chatbox, RPG mod... Choose PhpBB 2 - 3, Invision or PunBB. Create forums now!"
Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:
We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
Treat all of it as advertising, because it is. Its value is that it is dated and quotable, which is more than most comparison pages offer.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 18 May 2007, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 19 years old. Registry data as of 9 September 2026. It is paid up until 18 May 2033.
Read that as a floor rather than a recommendation. Longevity says somebody has kept paying the registrar, and in a market with this much churn that is worth ten seconds of your attention.
The activity record
Our crawl of their site found 206 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from August 2026 and the newest from August 2026. 206 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
An actively maintained site is table stakes rather than a recommendation. It does rule out the failure that costs buyers the most here, which is prepaying a company that has quietly stopped.
Where the interest in Forumotion goes
The Keyword Planner puts brand demand at 140 a month: 140 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
Weighted towards people checking whether to trust it. A comparison that ignores that and opens with a pitch has misread the room.
The parts no marketing page answers
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Every provider works when nothing is wrong. The difference shows up on the day a subnet gets flagged or a gateway stops answering. Before committing volume, send one real question through the support channel and time the reply.
Why a cheap address is often a used one
Ask how many accounts can sit on one address at once. Where the answer is unlimited or unspecified, price the plan as shared regardless of what the product is called.
Who pays for the requests that fail
On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Forumotion | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | On their own terms page | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
The ten minute version of this decision
For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.
- Open an account on each and add the smallest amount they take. Skip the trial if a paid unit is cheap enough to buy outright.
- Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
- Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
- Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.
Others in this market
Nearest alternatives by product shape rather than by who pays us, since nobody does:
- Abnewswire alternatives
- Aboutus alternatives
- Accessify alternatives
- Acevpn alternatives
- Activesearchresults alternatives
- Adspower alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
We are the pay as you go option in this market. Residential from $0.44 per GB, ISP and datacenter per address, mobile alongside them, all from one balance with nothing to forfeit. That model wins on irregular volume and loses on very large steady volume, which is worth knowing before you test.
