Other Information

Im trying to switch from cloudflare nameservers to the infinityfree ones so I can verify my domain but it is giving me an error every time I try?

[lovebug]

if your domain has the option to use nameservers without soa then try that and it should help

i wonder if there is a way to verify without changing nameservers?

Hi bestwebsitetrustme,

How to add your domain with CNAME verification

If you want to host your own domain name with InfinityFree, the default way to verify your domain is to set the nameservers first. However, there are cases where setting the nameservers ahead of time is not desirable (for example if you have an existing site which cannot go down) or if your domain provider does not let you set our nameservers. Fortunately, InfinityFree now has the ability to host your domain name with us without having to change your nameservers ahead of time! This guide explai…

uhh i added the cname and it still is unverified. it is because i proxied it through cloudflare?

@bestwebsitetrustme

it is because i proxied it through cloudflare?

Just try it yourself. My guess is yes though, so please do disable the proxy and try again.

Hi bestwebsitetrustme,

CNAME are basically redirection records, it makes no difference proxied or not, as the DNS simply replies where to go next for those who ask. The connection isn’t made with a CNAME node in between but just used for resolution.

DNS update can take up to 72 hours and that’s only a matter of waiting. Normally Cloudflare proxied DNS update only takes a few minutes, but IFN might take much longer to realize that due to caching beyond their control.

Check periodically to see if the domain has that CNAME published here, remember to choose the CNAME type:

DNS Checker - DNS Check Propagation Tool

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Cheers!

ohh so thats why its not showing yet? I just need to wait? Thanks, I’m pretty new to domain names so yea

Maybe it’s just DNS cache and it will fix itself, or maybe you didn’t configure it correctly. Either I overlooked it, or you haven’t shared your domain name yet to check.

If we know the domain, we can give you more specific information.

HI bestwebsitetrustme,

Maybe you can share your domain here so we can also take a look?

Cheers!
