I checked the list yesterday just out of curiosity, and the first domain in the list was listed twice. I think it was a .co.cc.

I vote for co.cc in the list, :angel: , the problem is probably related to the free coupons not to .co.cc if we talk about only one guy.

chugsky.co.cc (id = 36847 & 36848)
manyentry.co.cc (id = 36843 & 36844)
ccunblockschoolwebsites.co.cc (id = 36838 & 36839)

It appears that our code isn't bulletproof quite yet. :o

com's look nicer, but once they are known and blocked by WebSense (etc...) they are no more valuable (to the proxy users) than a co.cc domain.

Why don't all of you guys build some co.cc's?

Don't complain about your competion, beat them!


Note: The recent rush of co.cc domains is mostly due to one guy and he's not going to be doing this any longer -- for unrelated reasons.

That's it, instead of complaining why can't you take some steps to beat them, If you fail with info and all just do the same trick and make them, kicked.

I was riding the wave on co.cc as well :p


I did inform Will about the effects on the list but it'll take time for everyone to understnad about it ;)

I just made a snippet that doesn't allow CO.CC domains - I will be banning them on ProxLists.com within the next month or two.

co.cc is very similar to .info, from one point of view, with both people can spam, 0,79 $ at Godaddy, so both should not be allowed. :rofl: But we can't talk about spam as long the guy is paying for the submission.

Listed on Tech Faq righ now on the main page:

13 = .info
9 = .co.cc
2 = .com
1 = .me
---------------
25 proxies

Page 2

16 = .info
7 = co.cc
2 = .com
----------------
25 proxies

Page 3

18 = .info
5 = .co.cc
2 = .com
-----------------
25 proxies


Blocking .co.cc is like blocking chinese products on the market because are too cheap.

I think that charging extra for co.cc is the best idea.

Following the same rule .com owners will want fees for .info because they use cheaper domains, 7-8 .infos for the price of 1 .com. :)
