I can't connect to firebase

I am working on a project and I am working with firebase, well you already make a phone application and now I am trying to connect my domain to firebase to be able to have some compatible functions from both platforms, but at the moment of almost finishing configuring the external domain in firebase It asks me to verify that it is mine by adding a CNAME dns and delete the A dns that are there, however it is not possible for me to delete them, so how can I do it, at most in advanced options other dns records appear, but those would be in premium account and right now I can’t afford it, does anyone know what I could do?

InfinityFree subdomains must stay in InfinityFree and cannot be used elsewhere. And yes, those A records are immutable and cannot be modified.

Spoiler alert: purchasing premium also don’t give you full DNS control on free subdomains.

If you need full DNS control, you must have your own custom domain, and use third party DNS services. A .com is usually just $12/year, which is quite affordable to most people.

It’s okay, thank you, even so I had already thought about going premium at least for the time I will be with this project, I will see what I can do, however I would like to find out a little more to be able to connect my page to my account from firebase to be able to work together with my application,
Does anyone have any information about that that can help me? Well, I’m new to using Firebase, I’ve only used phpmyadmin as a database, and I wouldn’t want to spend anything either, I mean a reference to having to spend on something that in the end It was not necessary, I would like to have some more information, I don’t know if anyone knows a little more

Fun fact: getting your own domain is actually way cheaper than getting premium hosting. I don’t know how firebase works, but if all you have to do is to add some DNS records, then purchasing a domain is definitely the way to go.

I also have a question about the DNS, because there in Firebase to connect it it asks to adjust the DNS, you already told me that by having premium I can control them completely, because I would also need to eliminate the type A DNS, that in the normal setting, in advanced settings I would have I have to use the TXT type dns and something from a Mint SSL certificate, I do not know those two completely but I would like to be completely sure that I can modify at least the type A dns and eliminate it since it is a step that it asks me for, which is place a DNS of type CNAME and eliminate the type A to verify that I am the owner of the site, but as I said I do not know these points, could you give me more information if it is not too much trouble please

Well, the only place about domains that I know and that works for me is this one, I haven’t tried anything else, where do you recommend that I could buy my domain or would it be right here?

Namecheap is a viable option. If you dig deeper in our website you’ll also find a link direct you to Namesilo in the footer.

I think what I’ve told you is that by getting premium you also cannot get full DNS control?
