  The parent domain was apparently well known to be a common host of phishing domains and scam sites. Free domains tend to attract those types, so that’s a good reason from the start not to use that if you want your site to be reliably accessible and findable on search engines.

  My work uses zScaler for its Internet web filters. zScaler has everything *.ml blocked.

  So yeah, it’s fairly well-known to be sketchy.

    .ml is just Mali’s country domain. Maybe your workplace should get a better filter?

      Or maybe realising anything ending in .ml was most likely spam and if it caught the 5 legitimate Mali domains oh well, zero loss for anyone.

  I did, I just messed up and didn’t tell anybody. I’m sorry folks, this is on me.

  Yes. Hosting a service in a country other than where a TLD is designated for is bad practice and common knowledge for any web developer

    Guess nobody told youtu.be or the million of services on .to or .it…

      .be and .to are free to use by anyone as set by the respective countries registrars, anyone that registers a .it domain outside of Europe is just asking for trouble

        Do Belgium and Italy have different policies?
