**Oggetto:** Assistenza configurazione DNS per dominio .it su InfinityFree **Messaggio:** Buongiorno, ho registrato il dominio **happyshoppy.it** e sto cercando di configurare i nameserver di InfinityFree (`ns1.byet.org` e `ns2.byet.org`) per il mio dominio. Ho eseguito i controlli richiesti dal registro italiano dei domini (.it) e risulta che i vostri nameserver non rispondono correttamente per questo dominio, con messaggi di errore tipo “REFUSED”. Potete cortesemente confermarmi se i vostri nameserver supportano domini con estensione .it? In caso affermativo, potete indicarmi la procedura corretta per configurare il mio dominio sui vostri DNS in modo conforme ai requisiti del registro? Grazie mille per il supporto. ---

First of all, please note that this is an English language forum, so please write your messages in English. As for your issue itself, the problem is that the .it registry is quite strict regarding the DNS settings of your domain name. We’ve described that issue in this article: > [@Can't change nameservers to InfinityFree](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/unable-to-set-nameservers-dns-query-refused/49233): > > When you try to point your domain to InfinityFree’s nameservers ([ns1.infinityfree.com](http://ns1.infinityfree.com) and [ns2.infinityfree.com](http://ns2.infinityfree.com)), your registrar might refuse the change with error messages like: DNS Query Refused ERROR: Answer must be authoritative The name server is not responsible for this domain Domain is not activated in the nameservers What should I do? You have two main options to solve this problem: Option 1: Use CNAME verification instead Instead of changing nameservers, you can verify your domai… The solution is pretty straight forward: you can add your account with CNAME verification instead: > [@How to add your domain with CNAME verification](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/how-to-add-your-domain-with-cname-verification/87420): > > 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… After the domain name has been added to your account, you can go ahead and change the nameservers. ---
