Should i Ban Free Domain Names

    Hello ,

    I own Proxy List Site YouCanhiDE.com it gets and gives decent traffic to all listed proxy site owners you can see that on my site . But recently theres been drop in traffic which i blame upon presence of lot of free domains which have sole purpose to earn instead of providing any quality service .

    So should i go forward and ban these domains or keep them as most of the domain submitted are free
    Please give your valid comments

    Regards,
    Jarral:)

    Yes.

    I have run many proxies, and still do. The one thing i hated was that i have invested my money to buy a decent domain name, then someone comes along with a free domain and pushes me down the list. I know it's my choice to buy the domain but i bought it to build a long life proxy, free domains is people just pumping proxies out for quick profit. One more suggestion is to allow peoples whos domains have fallen off the bottom of the list to resubmit a few days/weeks later. Those sites, like yours, have so many domains at the bottom no one sees because these new free domains are pushing them further down.

    I would ban them. Most people doing it for free are not serious. People who fork out a little for a domain will send a little more quality and time on maintaining what they have. The other option is to charge free sites an insertion fee!

    I agree, ignore free domains, they make it unfair on people who put an investment in, to actually provide a service
