Checkitnow is gone. This page sets out what the public record actually shows about when and how, what the site looked like while it traded, and what a customer left holding an account should do now.

The date it stopped

We tried three routes to it on 9 September 2026 and all three failed (ENOTFOUND). Nothing is listening.

Wayback has it working until October 2018 and not after, across 1 captures. Treat that month as approximate.

What the last capture shows

The final good capture, October 2018, carried the title "Website Proxy Coming". The banner line read "Website Proxy".

Preserved copy has one advantage over a live page: it cannot be edited after the fact. What it shows is the promise, not the product.

What it looked like while it traded

The archive first captured a working page in October 2018.

None of it is a verdict on quality. It is the shape of a business that existed, which is worth establishing before anything else, because this market also contains names that never traded at all.

The rest of the trail

On the operator we hold nothing beyond the registration record, and the name is free to register again.

The honest limit here: we can show you the ending and not the reason for it. Anyone publishing a confident explanation of a small provider's shutdown is usually repeating a forum rumour, and we would rather leave the gap visible.

Frequently asked questions

Is Checkitnow really gone?
We re-checked the domain on 9 September 2026 over https, www and plain http. Nothing answered on any of them. That is evidence of a shutdown rather than proof of one, and it is the strongest evidence the public web offers.
What happened to Checkitnow?
We do not know, and we will not guess in public. The record shows when the site stopped being captured and that it no longer answers. It says nothing about the reason, and every confident explanation of a small provider's shutdown that we have read traces back to a forum rumour.
What should I use instead of Checkitnow?
Nothing that promises to be Checkitnow again. Use a list with a visible last-checked time, test the address before you trust it, and expect a free proxy to fail on any site that cares about proxy traffic. Our free list is re-verified every few minutes and the checker tests one address on demand.
Why does Checkitnow still show up in reviews?
Because affiliate reviews are rarely revisited once they rank. Search demand for a dead provider outlives the company by years, and the pages recommending it keep earning, which is why a dated check like this one is worth more than a five-star roundup.
