proxyranker.com is held rather than run. The name resolves to a holding page, so the site loads and does nothing; the proxy itself was last captured in February 2007.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of proxyranker.com is from February 2007 and it holds 77 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Ultimate Proxy Ranker - Rankings - All Sites".
The end of it
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 4 February 2007 and the archive kept visiting until 9 July 2025.
The address today
We checked proxyranker.com on 6 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers with parked.
The registry record shows the name was registered again on 28 August 2025 and is paid until 28 August 2027 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Whoever holds it now took it after the proxy had already stopped.
What to use instead
Use a list somebody keeps checking rather than a name that used to work. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, and an address that stops answering leaves it instead of sitting there for years. If you already have an address, the proxy checker will tell you whether it still relays anything.
The limits of free are the same everywhere, ours included: the addresses are shared, so the sites that care have seen them before, and there is no session to hold, so logins break part way through.
The limits of this record
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.
One check, one day, one place: that is the honest weight of what we measured, since a site blocking data centre traffic reads exactly like a site that is gone. The next check is due by 1 January 2027.
