Save your tk-Domains registered with Freenom

(PresseBox) (Koeln, )
Freenom, a provider known for offering free domain registrations, particularly with the TK-Domain, has decided to exit the domain business following a settlement with Meta (formerly Facebook) over a cybersquatting lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleged that Freenom was involved in cybersquatting Meta's trademarks thousands of times through domains like faceb00k.ga, seeking $100,000 for each infringement, which totaled a claim of half a billion dollars. Freenom settled the lawsuit with Meta on confidential terms and announced its decision to close down its domain name operations. This move also came after Freenom lost its ICANN registrar accreditation and government contracts to run several country code TLDs (ccTLDs).

​Given these developments, transferring domains registered at Freenom to another registrar makes sense for several reasons:
  1. Stability and Reliability: With Freenom exiting the domain business and losing ICANN accreditation, transferring your domains to a more stable and reliable registrar ensures continued domain service without interruption.
  2. Security and Support: A reputable registrar like Secura GmbH can offer better security measures and customer support for your domains, which is crucial for protecting your online presence.
  3. Compliance and Trust: Registrars with a strong compliance record and good standing with ICANN are more likely to maintain trust within the internet governance ecosystem, ensuring that your domains are managed according to global standards.
  4. Service Continuity: Transitioning to another registrar before Freenom fully winds down its operations can prevent potential service disruptions, ensuring that your websites remain accessible, and your email services continue to function without any issues.
Choosing a reputable registrar like Secura GmbH can provide a safer and more secure home for your domains, along with professional support and services that may not have been available through Freenom, especially in the wake of its legal and regulatory challenges.

Secura GmbH offers beside a fair price for domain registration also hosting of websites for less than 10 US-Dollars per year.

You can contact Secura at secura@domainregistry.de.

The situation with .tk domains is complex: Freenom customers use Freenom as both the registrar and the registry for .tk domains.

If you wish to transfer your domain(s), go to https://register.freenom.com/cgi-bin/login02, log in there, find your auth code, and then send it to secura@domainregistry.de.

The website with the login is currently accessible. However, we cannot verify whether logging in is actually possible.

If you cannot obtain your auth code through Freenom's control panel, you may also try contacting them via emails, letters, and phone calls. In the past, Freenom has often not responded to emails. Threatening legal action in letters and phone calls might be useful if you do not receive a response.
