Freenom is in certain ways even better than the other paid domain registrars. Like when one changes one's name servers of a domain with Freenom, the change takes effect almost immediately - sometimes faster in my experience than with paid registrars. I prefer the Freenom dashboard over the Namecheap dashboard as well. Easier to find things. Over the years I've become careful with how I use the free domains. I get it that Freenom wants one to have a viable Website on the domain, and also once the Website reaches a certain level of traffic, it may take the domain back and offer it to you at a price. So better not to use Freenom for a Website that you want to build traffic on. Better to use it for test purposes or personal Websites only.
