Luckily I have already registered an .tk domain . Now they are unavailable and nobody can register it.

    From homepage:

    IMPORTANT NOTICE: Because of technical issues the Freenom application for new registrations is temporarily out-of-order.
    Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. We are working on a solution and hope to resume operations shortly.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Don't waste your time and effort on free domains.
    If you want to build something valuable, use the usual paid ones for your projects.

    You can register domains in some TLDs for less than $5 each, and then the domain is yours to manage, use, sell, renew ... or not.

    In case it matters, I found .uk domains for $4.76 at Cloudflare yesterday. (The regular price for domain registrations and renewals is their cost. Restriction: You must use their DNS.)

    For free subdomains, consider:

    Wasn't there a similar thread just the other day? Maybe I'm just getting confused.
    Free domains are usually used by spammers and have very little value, hence they are free. Loop.

    freenom is dead. see other thread related to it.
    free domains used to work and we have no guarantee that they'll work or get suspended

    You can login at https://my.freenom.com/?

    I had a few .ml and .tk for testing and playing, they all stopped working a while ago and the whois is wiped.

    Wtf? I've not been able to reach that page for months.
    Anybody else unable to login or is it just me?

    I can login and renew domains.
    But it is not possible to register new account and try to register new domain.

    I have never thought that much of free or especially .tk domains at all

  • chakraxzzchakraxzz Member

    is there any better alternatives?

  • aana3027aana3027 Member

    I have a domain on freenom, but the extension has expired. now the domain is not in my freenom account. but it's been 3 days since it was deleted, the domain can still be accessed via cloudflare dns. Until when is the domain active? and is there a registrar other than freenom that provides tk and ga domains for free?

    Paying for a domain, they aren't exactly expensive. Likely the cheapest part of your infrastructure.

    9 $ for a domain that has been considered spam by search engines, including expensive. that's what confused me. more than that, there is no option for me to renew or pay for the domain, because the domain has been deleted from my account.

    Don't use Freenom's 'Free' Domains.
    They register your domains as by themselves, which means that you have absolutely no right to your domain.
