Founded in Luxembourg, the company has changed its business model to include both free and premium domain offerings. The CEO is Joost Zuurbier, who has a background in tech startups.Freenom primarily provides domain registration services, offering both free and paid domain names to users globally. Their core product includes the ability to register up to ten domains in a single transaction through their platform. For customers requiring more domains, Freenom facilitates access to its API, enabling users to register additional domains as resellers. The company also offers a DNS resolver service known as Freenom World, which is designed to be fast and anonymous, catering to users who prioritize privacy and speed in their internet browsing.Freenom generates revenue through its domain registration services, particularly from the registration of Special Domains, which are premium domain names that incur a fee due to their desirability.

In addition, Freenom's reseller program allows partners to leverage the company's API for bulk domain registration, creating potential revenue streams for both parties.
