Domain free.nf parked by registrar
Less than an hour ago, our domain registrar Regery took down the domain free.nf in response to an abuse report they received regarding a subdomain, and directed the domain to a parking page they control.
Which components are affected by this issue
Any free subdomains using the domain free.nf will be unreachable. Custom domains, and free subdomains using other domains, are not affected.
What issues may you see
You will likely see a Regery parking page on the domain. Email delivery will likely fail as well.
When will this issue be resolved
We are trying to get in touch with Regery to explain the situation and get the domain restored. Unfortunately, we have to wait for them to respond to us and restore the domain name.
What can you do to fix this
If you have a free.nf subdomain, you will have to wait for this issue to be resolved for your domain to come back.
If you need to publish your site urgently, you can always choose to assign a different free subdomain to your account through the Subdomains menu in the control panel.
We are aware of the issue and are doing our best to get this resolved as soon as possible.
I completely understand that this may cause confusion and you will have additional questions. I am happy to provide any information I have to help you.
However, to keep the contents of this topic clean, clear and concise, I ask that you carefully read the Outage Communication Rules before posting.
In a nutshell:
- Please keep the posts about the outage in this topic, and all posts not about this outage outside of this topic.
- Please post relevant questions only that have not been answered yet. It may be compelling to ask obvious questions like “when will this be fixed”, but basic information like that will be put in this message as soon as we know it.
- Please carefully check the known symptoms and affected components.
- If you are on the affected components, you are almost certainly affected by the outage. If so, please refrain from simply stating you are affected, it does not help get your service back up faster.
- If you are not on the affected components but do experience all of the symptoms, please say so below so we can check if our list is incomplete.
- If you do not experience all listed issues and are not on the components that are known to be affected, the issue you are experiencing is most likely not related to this outage. If so, please create a new topic in the Hosting Support category and describe the issue there.
- If you say you are affected by the outage, please always include your website URL. I can’t check if you are affected by the outage if you don’t say which of your websites is affected.
Posts that do not follow these rules may be deleted without warning. This is to help ensure that all the relevant information is easily available to everyone reading this topic.
