Typing goaway.us today gets you a parking page put there by whoever holds the name. The proxy behind it stopped being captured after August 2022.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of goaway.us is from October 2002 and it holds 47 days of captures in total.
The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
Fast & easy transfers 98% of all domain ownership transfers are completed within 24 hours.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 9 August 2022.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 13 years ago, and that listing counted 407 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as United States.
When it stopped
The last capture that returned a page at all is from 9 August 2022 and the archive kept visiting until 15 April 2025.
By 18 September 2019 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "goaway.us is for sale!".
What the name does today
We checked goaway.us on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Parking Page".
Where to go from here
A list with a visible last-checked time beats a remembered domain. Ours re-verifies every few minutes; the checker tests a single address if you would rather bring your own.
Expect what free has always meant: shared addresses that targets recognise, and no session persistence, which breaks anything behind a login.
What this page cannot tell you
The record shows when, not why. Nothing public says whether the operator lost interest, lost the hosting, or simply moved on, so this page does not guess.
Our status check is one day from one vantage point, and a site that refuses requests from data centres would look the same as one that is switched off. We will check this page again by 1 January 2027.
