Hi and welcome to the forum! You can only use free subdomains on free hosting, exceptionally on [Premium Hosting](https://www.infinityfree.com/premium/) if you migrate your website to them, then nowhere else. You can consider getting your own domain if you want to point it anywhere else; here are some places where you can get one for free: > [@Where do I get free domains?](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/where-do-i-get-free-domains/80753/2): > > You can try using [EU.org](https://nic.eu.org) or [PP.UA](https://nic.ua/en/domains/.pp.ua) (the latter one if you have a credit card even with a few cents on it and a phone number to use for verification, though the credit card is used only once for verification and then what’s free will remain free) as a valid alternative to Freenom (and Dot TK because Dot TK and Freenom are the same) that also supports Cloudflare and other things that Freenom with its domains supported. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/error-encountered-while-adding-cname-record/87797)._
