You cannot use CNAMEs because they are TXT records. The cPanel only allows CNAME records. For full DNS management, please upgrade to premium hosting, or add your site to Cloudflare (witch won’t work on subdomains). Proper setup instructions for Cloudflare [here](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/how-to-use-cloudflare/38883)
