Shut down

What happened to Qirina, and what to use instead

Qirina has stopped answering. The registration and archive record, what the site looked like while it traded, and what to do if you were a customer.

Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

Qirina appears to have shut down. That sentence is doing careful work: what we can show is a dead site and an archive that stops, which is evidence of an ending and not of a reason.

When it went dark

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

Archive coverage stops at January 2023, after 36 good captures. The crawler kept visiting. There was nothing left to save.

What the last capture shows

The final good capture, January 2023, carried the title "Qirina - Keyword Analysis Engine".

Read it as the pitch rather than the product. Its value is that the Internet Archive holds it independently of us and of them, so anyone can check the quotation.

What was there

The archive first captured a working page in October 2010.

All of that is a record of what was published rather than of what worked. It is here because a reader who paid them deserves to see that the company was real and operating, which the archive settles.

Registration and expiry

The name was first registered on 2 October 2010 at NameCheap, Inc.. About 15 years, then, from first registration to now. It is paid up to 2 October 2027, so the name is held even though nothing sits on it. Registry data read 9 September 2026.

One limit worth stating plainly: none of the above explains why. A dead domain and an archive that stops are evidence of an ending, not of a cause, and we will not guess at one in public. If you know what happened, we would rather print your account than our speculation.

Other providers that went quiet

More providers that are no longer there, with dates rather than rumours:

Where former customers end up

If you were mid-subscription, cancel any standing card authority first so it cannot be charged again, then check whether the payment is recent enough to dispute. Both are worth doing today rather than after the window closes.

What to look for next time: no expiry on the balance, no minimum commitment, and a price you can reach without a sales call. We meet all three, residential from $0.44 per GB, and so do several others. Measure on your target rather than taking anyone's word, including ours.

Frequently asked questions

Is Qirina 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 Qirina?
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.
Can I get my money back?
If the payment is recent enough to fall inside your card scheme's dispute window, a chargeback is usually the only realistic route once a provider stops answering. Cancel any recurring authority at your bank rather than on their site, and keep receipts and support threads as evidence.
Why does Qirina 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.
