My website URL is: harryzwebsite.ml
What I’m seeing is: My website works fine but i want to have SSL. I’, trying to make the SSL using sslforfree.com . I’m using domain from Freenom
I’m using this software: file manager
Additional information: Thanks for reading
@Ergastolator1 I know you posted before that on another thread and i was following your steps how to get a certificate from there but i messed up and i need a bit of help
Did you change the nameservers to the Freenom ones and followed my instructions to configure them for InfinityFree?
Yes i added 2 CNAME records
First pointed to my domain TTL 3600s
second to my main TTL 3600s
one MX record - TTL 3600s - pointed to mx.epizy.com
and that is
No, God! It should be:
1st record: Name: nothing - Type: CNAME - TTL: 300s - Value: your Main Domain.
2nd record: Name: www - Type: CNAME - TTL: 300s - Value: your domain.
3rd record: Name: nothing - Type: MX - TTL: 300s - Value: mx.epizy.com - Priority: 10.
it gave me an error * Error occured: CNAME records should have a name set!
Then, from “How to find the IP address of your account”:
Using A records
The IP address associated with a hosting account cannot be found in the control panel, but you can find it yourself. To do so, you will need to look up the IP address associated with your account’s main domain.
You can find the IP address using the
digutility installed on macOS or Linux, or use a web-based tool, like Google’s Dig tool. In the web tool, enter your account’s main domain (see screenshot above) and click the button saying “A”. You can find the IP address in the resulting output.For subdomains, you can create a CNAME record pointing your subdomain to the main domain of your account.
But first delete the first 2 CNAME records!
here is a picture of my records

Where’s your Main Domain, so I can dig it and give you what to put?
i didnt put a name and freenom didnt registered it
so here it is
ahx7gq80.epizy.com
On the A record, don’t put a name, put as type A, as TTL 300 and as value 185.27.134.141. There is a bug on the CNAME record system of Freenom that doesn’t permit to add CNAME records without a name.
yea i got it xD
here is a picture how it looks now

It should be OK! Now you can proceed by doing the Manual Verification (DNS) method on sslforfree.com after imputting the domain you want to secure. Seen that Freenom doesn’t have the possibility to set TTL values of less than 300 (and complains about it), on the TXT records, put 300 as TTL and wait 5 minutes by doing this. After installing the certificate on the hosting server, you may delete the TXT records.
But you may need to wait some hours for the SSL certificate to propagate.
