Somebody searching for Tinyforge today is usually one of two people: a customer who cannot log in, or a buyer who found an old review. This page is for both, and it starts with the dates.

What the site does today

Three requests on 9 September 2026, https, www and http, all failed with ENOTFOUND. There is no server left behind that name.

Of 8 archived captures that actually loaded, the newest is April 2025. That is where the trail ends.

The site, while it lasted

The archive first captured a working page in June 2016.

So the business existed and had a product. Whether it was any good is not something the record can settle.

The registration record

Registration goes back to 26 November 2025, with Open Provider Inc. as registrar. Registration runs to 26 November 2026. Somebody is still paying for a name that serves nothing. Those dates come from a registry lookup on 9 September 2026.

What this page cannot tell you is the reason. Companies close for ordinary reasons far more often than dramatic ones, and the public record does not distinguish between them. Everything above is a date or a capture; none of it is a motive.

More of the same record

We keep the same record for these, each re-checked the day it was written:

The honest replacement

Practical first step for a former customer: stop any recurring payment at your bank rather than on their site, since their site is not there to stop it on. Then check your dispute window.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tinyforge 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 Tinyforge?
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.
What should I use instead of Tinyforge?
Nothing that promises to be Tinyforge again. Use a list with a visible last-checked time, test the address before you trust it, and expect a free proxy to fail on any site that cares about proxy traffic. Our free list is re-verified every few minutes and the checker tests one address on demand.
