Proxy Domains Part 2
How to decide on Domain Names
By now you should know whether you want a tonne of .info’s, to use some domains you already have or created some brandable domains for proxies that people will remember, or just use a mix of everything. With that knowledge looking into which domains to buy will be different from the rest of the options.
Brandable
If you are looking for your proxies to be brandable and be remembered without them just having to be bookmarked then first of all you should be looking at .Com domains although it may ’seem’ like the good ones have ran out. That’s why I suggest you build your own brand with an ending of the domains that sound the same to build your network. For example all the main domains in our network end with ‘oxy’ so that they are brandable for our network and people can relate to them and remember them.
Bulk
You will realise there’s a time you’ve got a tonne of proxies and may wonder why you spent all the money on .coms which are 10x the price of .info’s if you shop on NameCheap (recommended). If you are looking to bulk up your network or start with a lot of proxies from the beginning then I recommend you buy .info’s as they are a heck of a lot cheaper and still do the job just the same. Don’t listen to those who say you can’t rank well in the SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages) with them.
It’s up to you!
At the end of the day it’s your network, it’s your proxies and it’s your money you are spending. Make your mind up about which direction you want to go and get ready to get setup!

Hello and thank you for the proxy domains post.
I recently started my own proxy and managed to get webpxy.com. Short and relatively easy to remember, though the “pxy” part may be a bit hard to remember.
Check it out here: webpxy.com

Thanks for the helpful comment. I doubt you’ll question the design now.
Got another good domain (.cn), though not sure how to announce the site to the Chinese:
websurfing.cn

Theme looks great, much better than some of the other offerings out there.
Good Choice!
