Nameserver not recognized after 48 hours

[PregLizZz]

Hi,
im trying to add the domain (alltagsglück-ensdorf.de) by pointing the website to the nameservers:
ns1.infinityfree .com.
ns2.infinityfree .com
(Spaces because I can only put 2 links)
The changes are done and also visible here for example:
https://www.nslookup.io/domains/xn--alltagsglck-ensdorf-ebc.de/dns-records/#cloudflare
Yet infinityfree still shows the old nameservers.
Can someone help me?
Thanks and best regards

Welcome

I am not sure what is going on, but there are multiple servers returning different namservers for your domain:

Try verifying with CNAME record instead, and using default namservers.

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…

I am not sure what is going on,

I know what’s going on.

The thing is that you didn’t set the nameservers of your domain, @PregLizZz. Instead, you created DNS records at your current DNS provider that refer to our nameservers. However, that’s not how setting nameservers work. Changing nameservers is always a separate setting from DNS records. If you’re not sure how to change the nameservers of your domain with your current domain name provider, please contact your domain name provider for assistance.

That said, with .de domains, you may find that you are unable to set the nameservers. That’s because .de domains have additional restrictions that prevent changing the nameservers ahead of time. The CNAME verification was developed as an alternative for this reason.

Thanks, with the cname it worked. But now the domain still displays the old providers webpage almost 24 hours later. I setup the domain as an alias (same htdocs). Do I need to do anything else?

Yes, because adding the CNAME, unlike changing the nameservers, doesn’t make your domain resolve to our servers, it only make our server know your domain’s existence.

To make your domain actually resolve, you must also add an A record pointing to our server IP. You can find the server IP in your client area.

This is one way to do it. Another way is to change the nameservers right now. Because your domain is already set up, the registry should now accept the change.
