When you try to point your domain to InfinityFree’s nameservers (ns1.infinityfree.com and ns2.infinityfree.com ), your registrar might refuse the change with error messages like:
DNS Query Refused
ERROR: Answer must be authoritative
The name server is not responsible for this domain
Domain is not activated in the nameservers
If your domain does not have any of the extensions that force this system, try finding a “DNSSEC” setting in your registrar and disabling it. I see you’re using STRATO, which offers a “Domain Guard” service; disabling it should help:
If your domain has one of the extensions mentioned in the article, this is enforced at registry level and unfortunately nothing can be done.
If it’s a registrar restriction, then you can transfer the domain to another registrar, or try to lift the restriction.
I looked up Strato’s documentation and they seem to mention offering DNSSEC as part of their “Domain Guard” service, so disabling it from there should help:
