After waiting for the DNS caching to clear, I noticed that accessing my custom domain ontdekkingsgeest.com would automatically redirect to the free subdomain www.ontdekking.42web.io . I wanted to avoid this redirect, so I removed the free subdomain entirely.
Rather than having your custom domain be a redirect, the more optimal solution is to add it as an addon domain and then migrate your website to the new folder for that domain.
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.

That’s because you have the domain’s nameservers set to InfinityFree’s but it isn’t attached to an account, so the server doesn’t know where to send visitors. Once you add it as an addon domain it’ll work properly again.
Sometimes, your domain name may redirect to the website suspendeddomain.org instead of showing your website. Contrary to what the domain implies, there are various reasons as to why your domain name may redirect to suspendeddomain.org .
In short, this happens if your browser is connecting to a website IP address, but there is no active website for your domain on the IP address.
This article explains many of the different ways in which this can happen.
