I recently was gifted a raspberry pi 5 and was looking at domains to buy to host my own instance. What happens to my instance if the domain expires?

Also, do freenom and .tk just not allow new domains to be registered anymore?

      Yes! I got a cheap .tech domain, and it kept increasing price year after year. Eventually it got a lot cheaper to just grab a .com.

      Cloudflare has the best prices for domain names, they sell them at cost

        Is .com fixed in some way to prevent the same scaling? I thought it was basically the domain sellers increasing the prices year over year
