Is .tk reliable?

    Hi,
    I built a website example.co.cc and I was unable to share that website with friends in Facebook (Facebook said that a particular link of my site is spammy). So I go for example2co.cc and got the same result. Then I understand that co.cc is reason of the complication. As I was unable to share my beloved website (this is my first website) I got frustrated and went for the domain .tk which solves my problem (now I can share). But later some persons told me that .tk has bad reputation. They ban accounts without any reason. They also said that if my website gets a good number of traffic it will ban my account. Is it true?

    ***I don't have any credit card so that I can buy a TLD and I should stay with the free domain as long as possible.

    You should buy a good domain, there may be some domain provider in your country where you can buy paying by local bank transfer or any alternative method.
    In our country we pay using bank transfer, debit card, Money Order, Bank Draft, etc.

    My friend was in a similar situation, but didn't get banned.

    co.cc is not an actual TLD but a free subdomain registration system. Considering it does not cost anything to create a new subdomain on co.cc, the whole co.cc is banned by many sites for spam reasons

    I am not sure what the situation with .tk is, but you can register .com *free* for a year (and you don't have to renew it), which would be the most reputable domain extension to use

    Search on google with these keywords :
    dot tk scam
    Code (markup):
    I suggest you to buy .info. It should cost around $2-$4 for the first year.
    Or at least use blogspot instead.
