register's Issues

shorter domains?

the whole point of me (and most os us) getting free subdomains is to have short urls to type

so maybe try something like *.is-js.dev or *.built-an.app and people might be intrested

Add is-super.cool

humble request to add is-super.cool domain
because it sounds way great than the front, back and full stack dev domains, plus it also sounds better than those, it would be super cool ig you also add that domain. I hope you consider my suggestion, thanks :D

MX and NS records

Add support for MX and NS records

Discontinuation of is-a-backend.dev & is-a-frontend.dev

On Jan 27, 2024, the is-a-backend.dev and is-a-frontend.dev domains will expire. They will not be renewed as they have not been used as much as it is worth it to keep renewing the domain names.

I would recommend either migrating your site over to is-a-fullstack.dev or another domain service (such as is-a.dev or Open Domains). We will also most likely not be renewing the freesubdomains.org domain name either. This will most likely not be replaced and the website, subdomain checker, etc will be archived or moved.

Please note, I will keep is-a-fullstack.dev however as it has many more subdomains on it than the others.

I appreciate everyone's support in making this hard decision.
