First, add your new custom domain to your hosting account as an addon domain.

How to add your own domain to your account

While a free subdomain is a great way to get started, a website looks a lot more professional with a custom domain name. Fortunately, you can register your own domain name with an external company (like Spaceship) and use it on InfinityFree. There are multiple ways you can add the domain name as an account.

Thank you! Need to set anything in the DNS records?

Yes, you’ll need to at least temporarily change your DNS records to validate your ownership of the domain. The easiest way to do this is with the CNAME method.

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…

After that’s complete make sure to set up an A record to your site’s IP address.

7. In a new tab, go to dash.infinityfree.com , log in if needed, then select the hosting account you want to add Cloudflare for. Locate the IP address. (NOTE: Steps 6-8 may be done for you by Cloudflare!)

8. Copy the IP address from the client area (dash.infinityfree.com ) and use it to create the following records: (NOTE: Steps 6-8 may be done for you by Cloudflare!)

For future reference, you can find all of this information (and more) in the knowledge base in the “Domains and DNS” category.

If after doing all that, and even the custom domain is pointed to same htdocs that was in the previous website in the infinity free server. And when search the url it appears “ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR” even changed wp-config.php and all. what could be the problem?

Will try to see as I got the DNS set to the place I did rent it. I already set the DNS names of infinity to try to add the SSL certificate

Finally got it running!! Doesn’t need to change the DNS to infinity DNS, just set the Cname on the custom domain outside and used the free SSL maker of infinity!!

Thank you all for your help!
