I need to shift my name servers to the Premium DNS ones by sectigo. I have the server address ready but the last time I tried it did not go well. I apologise in advance but what all dns records will I have to copy and how can I know that it works.
@Xplod4432, Do you mean that you are moving away from InfinityFree to Sectigo or something? Pls elaborate more the next time!

In short, you’ll probably want to setup an A record for your base domain pointing it to your account’s Website IP (you can find it in the client area) and a CNAME record for the www subdomain pointing it to the base domain. That’s all you really need to add.

@Xplod4432 it takes time due to…

Whenever there is IP changed, A record has to be updated. With CNAME, you don’t have to do that

You could use a web based DNS lookup tool to get the IP address of your website. Something like https://www.dnswatch.info/ or https://digwebinterface.com/ works well for that. If you enter your domain name there, you should see the Website IP from the client area in the response.
If the DNS records are already setup at Sectigo, you could even query the Sectigo servers for the records before switching over. Digwebinterface can do this if you enter the Sectigo nameservers in the Nameservers box.
I would have checked it for you, but I don’t know the nameserver addresses of Sectigo.

Yeah kinda didnt plan it well, I’m new to hosting stuff 
so till subscription runs out ill have to shift there ig
if your account is suspended also or delted there is no way to recover. atleast take a backup every day or on weekly basis, it is a good practise
