RESOLVED - Free.nf domain name down

RESOLVED - free.nf domain name down

Our domain name free.nf is currently down due to a dispute with the registrar. We are doing our best to get this resolved.

Which components are affected by this issue

All subdomains of free.nf are currently down.

Due to DNS caching, our nameservers are still active with some providers.

What issues may you see

You may see DNS lookup errors, such as DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE.

When will this issue be resolved

We are doing our best to get these issues resolved as soon as possible.

The domain has been migrated away to a different registrar, however getting the domain back online is more difficult than anticipated.

Unfortunately, the technical staff at our new registrar is only available during to business hours. So most likely, it will take until Monday to get the domain back online.

What can you do to fix this

At this time, there are no known workarounds.

poderiam oferecer uma alternativa para trocarmos o dominio para outro gratuito, e depois criar um redirecionamento do antigo pro novo, quando ele voltar.

They could offer an alternative for us to change the domain to a free one, and then create a redirection from the old one to the new one when it comes back.

You can already do this right now if you want. You can just add a new subdomain to your account, move your website, and configure a redirect on the free.nf subdomain.

But thatā€™s your choice. We have no plans to do this for all websites. There are a lot of downsides to forcibly migrating all websites to a different domain. And with the way things are looking right now, we expect the domain to be back online tomorrow at the latest, so a forced migration will probably do more harm.

Status Update

The domain has been migrated to a different registrar to resolve the dispute.

Unfortunately, getting the domain back online is more difficult than anticipated. This issue needs to be investigated by specialists at our registrar, but those will only be available again on Monday.

We trust that the experts at our registrar will be able to solve this issue quickly, but so it will likely be online on Monday.

my website is not opening for ever online.free.nf please fix

Thank you for your work on getting the domain back online.
In the meantime, I followed your suggestion and set up a new subdomain, copied all files to the new subdomain and set up a redirect of the entire free.nf subdomain to the new subdomain. Unfortunately, the redirect is not happening and my browser keeps showing ā€œsite not foundā€ when I try to open the free.nf subdomain.
Did I do something wrong? I looked through the Knowledge Base and forum but could not find anything for this specific situation.

This domain is transferred to another new registrar, so can we continue to use ā€œfree.nfā€ in the future?

Yes, because the free.nf domain is still down. Your DNS resolver canā€™t take you to it to do the redirect. Adminā€™s suggestion about creating a redirect was more so people can easily find your site at its new address once the free.nf domain is back online.

so Iā€™ve been following subdomain FREE . NF has been causing direct problems, as many other sites that use illegal content or spam use itā€¦ including several browsers that automatically block it claiming that the site is not safe simply for using FREE NF.
I INTEND TO MIGRATE MY SITE TO ANOTHER FREE SUBDOMAIN WHEN IT COMES BACK, MAY THIS NEW SUBDOMAIN BE LESS PROBLEM AND WITH A GOOD REPUTATION AMONG BROWSERS AND ANTIVIRUS

I can almost guarantee that will not happen. All the free subdomains will experience the same problem at one point or another because they are all free and being offered to whoever wants to claim them. The only way to prevent this kind of think from happening is to get a custom domain name that only you have access to.

Hello, thanks for information. Is the dispute due to confidentiality issues or pricing ? In short should we expect our data to be shared with another third party or the free have to ceased in order to have our sites back ?

The domain name has just been reactivated!

About two hours ago, the domain name was restored at the registry.

However, due to DNS caching, it can take up to 72 hours for all websites to be accessible from everywhere.
