It turns out that the registrar who claims to 'provide a domain for free' was a scam, what is the method?

A domain is a name that identifies and manages computers on the Internet. Obtaining this domain is very important when setting up a website, but in general, domains are offered for a fee rather than for free. There are reports that the service that claims to provide such a domain for free was actually a scam.

The domain registrar in question is 'Freenom'. Usually, domain names can be purchased for a few yen for cheap ones and hundreds of thousands of yen for expensive ones, but Freenom was selling a service that 'you can get a domain for free'.

However, Hackermon, the developer who accuses Freenom, said, 'I recently learned that the entire Freenom service is essentially a scam and doesn't own any of the domains it acquires.' It warns developers who have used or plan to use Freenom in the future.

According to Hackermon, you can get a domain and use it for a while without any problems, but as web traffic to that domain increases, the domain is suddenly stopped using without notice and put up for sale in haste. It is said that it will end up. The only way to get your domain up and running again is to spend money and buy it again. Website administrators are reluctant to repurchase a domain because access to their site is restricted when the domain is suspended.

Looking at the reviews, 'The domain was stolen and I can't get it anymore.' 'The website doesn't show up. It's the worst domain registrar.' '95% of the domains use the same name server. Just because of that, I've banished people for no reason, and I won't reply to emails or ticket support. '

In addition, on the social news site Hacker News, 'I also use the free domain I got from Freenom, but the domain has already been locked out and I failed to get it back,' and 'The website is traffic. The business model of 'when you start to acquire a domain, you stop using the domain and put it up for sale. You can not get the domain back without paying a fee' has already been introduced on YouTube. Initially there was no advertisement However, when it became popular, it started to advertise. '
