So I wanted a free host-name with DNS to access my server easily & settled with a ddns.net domain from no-ip. Problem was when I went on to setup Cloudflare, it wouldn’t register as it was a sub-domain. Eventually I got to know about Freenom, that offered free domains that too with managed DNS. For Freenom you can only sign-up once you have a domain so I went on an searched for one :
As soon as I would find a domain & click the Get it now! button a progress bar would show up followed by Not available message. It was frustrating because at one instance it showed available & then suddenly no-more. It was quite confusing.
I tried switching networks & used different VPN’s but still the issue persisted.
So it’s a pretty ridiculous bug. All you have to do is add .tk or whichever TLD you prefer in the search bar. This also changes the Get it now! button to Select.
