Tell HN: Freenom (the operator of .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf, .gq TLDs) is falling apart
by peppermint_gum on Hacker News.
1. whois.freenom.com is currently down. 2. Their nameservers are unreliable: https://ift.tt/BxyOjHL 3. Their client area often doesn’t work. I can’t login right now, and it seems I’m not the only one having issues: https://ift.tt/CJwlAVL 4. Their email address (info@freenom.com) bounces because it forwards to their CEO’s gmail and their SMTP server doesn’t have a PTR record set: This is the mail system at host smtp06.freenom.net.
