Do you recommend Freenom.com as a Domain Reseller?
Does anyone have experience with Freenom.com and use it as a domain reseller?
I see that they ask for 10$ deposit and you can use it to register domains, also their pricing is very low :

lol no
They're not trustworthy and very shady as a company, I'd not trust them with a free domain, nevermind a paid one, even much less if it's from your own clients. Also I think we've seen people complain about it in the past on this same forum.
Don't deal with them. Worst experience. They have (or had when i tried to work with) HQ in NL and reply very rarely and vaguely. Maybe they became good now but better to search for more reviews.
I would not trust, I have used them before and randomly had my account deleted, as well as domains. Support never responded. Great concept, terrible execution.

I use this provider for temporary projects. But only the freeservice.
wouldn't give them any money. their website is shitty and the panel is slow. even their free domains are weird and get deleted at random
shady, cheap, slow support, unreliable.
Do not trust Freenom. It's only good for temporary free domains. They are too slow, changing costs, and can't be trusted on long run.
Agreed with everyone else. Do not trust them for anything serious.
Some people say that domains are like houses, but in the Internet world.
Would you trust someone shady with your properties?
If you want free domains, buy a short domain and create subdomains.
If you want paid domains, use any other company. Literally anyone else. Freenom isn't worth it.
Used to be their customer, a sad one. I had free and paid domains, I would not recommend them.
Used to have paid and free domains with them. Some months ago, I wanted to register a domain with them and it got blocked for unknown reasons. When I reached out to support they linked me some FAQ article in which it was stated that I should wait some time, and if the problem persisted, look elsewhere. Which is what I did. Look elsewhere. The 1-2€/year I safe with them for their cheap pricing isn't worth dealing with them.
Thank you all for your feedback.
