Closing free account, how to release DNS binding?

Other Information

I’ve had to affiliate with another provider and need to release the DNS record binding at InifityFree and close out the free account.

Please advise process to close and release, so I may re-point the DNS zones back at GoDaddy where the domain is registered.

Thank you in advance.

Just delete domain from VPanel and change nameserver to GoDaddy’s

Remove the domain from vPanel, and then change the NS to another.

Pro tip: first change the nameservers, then wait a few days and then remove the domain name from the account (or deactivate the account).

That way, you can decide what content is shown while DNS caches around the world are slowly moving over to your new hosting. If you delete the domain first, those people see an account suspended page or a parking page. If the domain is still assigned to your active account, you can keep showing your website on it, or show a page saying your site is under maintenance. Once you remove the domain, you lose that ability.
