This is an obituary written from public records rather than gossip. Rating Proxy has stopped answering, and the registration and archive trail is the only honest account of it available.
When the lights went out
Nothing answered on 9 September 2026. Not a redirect, not a holding page. Silence.
Wayback has it working until October 2024 and not after, across 30 captures. Treat that month as approximate.
How it described itself
In October 2024, the last month the archive caught it working, the homepage was titled "Proxy Ratings - Reviews & Promo Codes / Rating-Proxy.info". Its search snippet read: "Proxy sites rating. Description of services, reviews, ratings, prices, and promo codes of existing proxy server providers"
Archived marketing is still marketing. What makes it worth quoting is that it cannot be edited after the fact, so it is a fixed record of the promise being made at the time.
What they sold
The archive first captured a working page in August 2019.
The public record holds that much. It shows a company that was real and shipping, and nothing about how well.
What the registry shows
The domain was registered on 5 March 2018 through NameCheap, Inc.. That makes the name about 8 years old. Someone renewed it through 5 March 2027 despite the site being gone. Checked against the registry on 9 September 2026.
We stop short of a cause deliberately. The registration and archive trail shows when things stopped and nothing about why, and the difference between those two claims is the difference between a fact and a defamation.
Other providers that went quiet
More providers that are no longer there, with dates rather than rumours:
- What happened to Viewpro
- What happened to Vpnarea
- What happened to Websiteoutlook
- What happened to Xxlproxy3
- What happened to Your Freedom
- What happened to Zhimahttp (芝麻HTTP)
What to do if you were a customer
If you still have money or traffic sitting with them, the realistic options are a chargeback if the payment is recent enough for your card scheme, and a written record of what you paid for. Prepaid balances with a company that has stopped answering are rarely recovered any other way.
Choosing a replacement: weight the terms as heavily as the price. A balance that expires and a large minimum top-up are the two features that turn a shutdown into a real loss. Ours does neither, and residential starts at $0.44 per GB. That is our pitch, and the honest advice underneath it applies whoever you pick.
