Freenom.com פושט רגל: ה- .ML, .טי.קיי., .GQ ו- . דומיינים CF קופאים

We already talked about Freenom.com here and it is not a surprise that Freenom.com is (לְבָסוֹף) יוצאים מהעסק, after ICANN decided to withdraw their Registrar accreditation. כולם יודעים מי אחראי לכך, והקללה שהוטלה על Freenom.com (לְבָסוֹף) תָשׁוּשׁ!

למרבה הצער בעוד קרע מפוצץ (which was really Freenom.com' signature all along since 2003): ה- .ML, .טי.קיי., .GQ and .CF domain names are unable to be updated or renewed. That is more than 12 million domain names affected! Because CloudFlare deletes unresolved domain names: CloudFlare deleted 22% of their hosted domains (wow!).

Freenom.com had been a very long-lasting rotten apple for a nice 21 שנים (almost a quarter of a century!). Freenom.com will remain a schoolbook classic example of a mismanaged business by its owner(s). From a customer point of view: it shows that you never really own a domain name, you just own its usage.

It is unknown if the countries attached to the .ML, .טי.קיי., .GQ and .CF ccTLDs will honor the expiration dates of the domains or even if there is a salvage plan…

This article is a good read for people wanting to know more about Freenom.com and its founder.
