Why is .tk not allowed?
I knwo that it also happens on other Powered by iFastnet hosting companies,but do you know why?
I don’t know for sure what exactly caused .tk domains to be banned, but I know they were being abused a lot. Their registrar also had a reputation of taking down popular free domains so they could serve ads to their visitors.

I knwo that it also happens on other Powered by iFastnet hosting companies,but do you know why?.tk is known as one of few domains which are free and only which is GEO-Targetable means you can drive more traffic than other domains free domains as it’s gTLD like .com,.net, .pk,etc. And second that admin picked up is that we do not allow .tk because of phishing reported less reputation.
.tk is the domain extension of the island of Tokelau, not a gTLD. And in my experience, using a .tk domain is very bad for SEO because last time I checked, Google heavily penalizes .tk websites, to the point where searching for the exact domain name puts your .tk website at page 10 or so of the search results, above many similarly named and themed sites.
