Why did domains became unavailable?

All free domains eventually get blacklisted:

Blacklist example

Many websites use detection services to recognize and block temporary email domains, which is why you can't use old domains on these websites. It is unavoidable.

To keep our service functional, we routinely purchase new domains. However, maintaining many old, blacklisted domains is costly, so we cannot retain them for a long time.

What should I do if my domain is unavailable?

  • Please avoid using temporary emails for important matters.
  • Unfortunately, it's impossible to recover access to old domains or emails.
  • As the name implies, temporary emails are meant for one-time tasks or short-term accounts. Do not use them for banking, personal social media, or other critical accounts.

What if I need to use temporary emails for important purposes?

If you must use temporary emails for something significant, consider these solutions:

  1. Create a custom domain. This is the most reliable option, as you have full control. Your domain won't be blacklisted as long as it isn't used for spam or abuse.
  2. Get a premium subscription. Premium domains are invisible to detection services (because they are not public) and typically avoid blacklists. However, there's no absolute guarantee they'll always remain available.
  3. Use alternative login methods. Some websites allow sign-in with a phone number or other options. If you lose access to your email, these alternatives may let you recover your account.
  4. Change your login email. On certain sites, you may be able to update your login email to a new, accessible address, though this isn't always possible.
