The useful thing to know about Paiddomains is not why it ended, which nobody outside the company can honestly tell you, but when it stopped and what you should do about the money or the traffic you had with it.
The date it stopped
We tried three routes to it on 9 September 2026 and all three failed (ENOTFOUND). Nothing is listening.
4 working snapshots exist, ending November 2019. Nothing usable was archived after that month.
What the last capture shows
The final good capture, November 2019, 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 March 2019.
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
We also track the same brand at paiddomains.ga, paiddomains.gq, paiddomains.ml, paiddomains.tk. Where a shutdown leaves sibling domains behind, they are worth checking before assuming everything stopped.
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.
The rest of the graveyard
The same treatment, applied to others that stopped answering:
- What happened to Joblove
- What happened to Junproxy
- What happened to Koreaproxy
- What happened to Kymata
- What happened to Leaf Proxies
- What happened to Listproxy
Picking a replacement
For anyone with an unused balance: check whether your payment still falls inside your card scheme's dispute window. Keep the receipts and any support thread. Once a provider stops answering, that is usually the only route left.
On picking the next one: the lesson of a page like this is not "choose a big provider", it is "do not prepay more than you would mind losing, and do not accept a balance that expires". We sell residential from $0.44 per GB with a balance that does not expire and no subscription, which is the shape that fails least badly when a provider does. Test it and anything else you shortlist on your own target before you move volume.
