Ssl Certificate

[akkusomer]

Hello, can you help me install the free SSL certificate?

Hi and welcome to the forum! I suggest reading this guide as well to help yourself. If you still don’t understand it, at the bottom of it there’s also a video that guides you:

How to get Free SSL (HTTPS) on InfinityFree

If you’re using free hosting with your own domain or a subdomain, you’ll want to make your website work over HTTPS (SSL). Fortunately, InfinityFree provides all the tools you need to make it so. If you like videos better then text guides, scroll on down to the bottom of this guide. This guide uses the control panel functions and the Free SSL Certificates tool provided by InfinityFree to get SSL up and running on your site.

DNS problem: looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.viom.online: DNSSEC: DNSKEY Missing I get the error

Is DNSSEC activated at your domain registrar? Turning it off should help:

GoDaddy - Turn DNSSEC on or off

[akkusomer]

There is no DNSSEC option in my godaddy account.

[ChrisPAR]

It seems activated on my end. Can you reach their support and ask them if it’s enabled and if they can disable it?

[akkusomer]

DNSSEC is a premium feature, they asked for 300 dollars, is there any other way?

[ChrisPAR]

Are they asking you for 300 dollars in order to disable it? This seems illogical to me.
Checking their relevant article I see they’re asking to upgrade to premium to have it enabled, and that they offer 5 free credits:

GoDaddy - Premium DNS features

Try letting them know once more that the feature seems to be enabled, not disabled, and ask them if they can disable it without you having to pay.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to contact their support again or they tell you they can’t do anything, setting up Cloudflare might help resolve this:

A Full Guide To Cloudflare

Hello, I will show you how to easily set up Cloudflare, Edit Records, and Troubleshoot with images! PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING!!! Cloudflare cannot be used on free subdomains from InfinityFree. You can use Cloudflare on Custom Domains (yoursite.com) and with Custom Sub-Domains (subdomain.yoursite.com). A video tutorial can be found at the end of this guide, should you get stuck. You must connect your domain to your InfinityFree account first. Read more here. Set-Up Cloudflare Go to Dash…

Cloudflare also offers SSL options and setting it up is quite easy, if you select the “Full” option and use a self-signed certificate, you won’t have to worry about renewals for 10 years!

Hi akkusomer,

You might be better off transferring the domain to Cloudflare for more configurable domain settings and more DNS records supported. The nameserver requirement was lifted here last year so moving to Cloudflare won’t affect your existing free hosting account.

DNSSEC is used to protect your domain from DNS record forgery so you want to have that enabled. This can be achieved for free at Cloudflare so you need not pay GoDaddy for this one.

Cheers!
