“Authorization error. V096 Domain name is not registered to your tag”.
I realised that the infinityfree.com nameserver was experiencing downtime earlier today after I tried to point my domain to ns1.infinityfree.com & ns2.infinityfree.com. The nameserver is now apparently operational but I’m still not able to update my domains primary & secondary nameservers.
What is your domain name?
You may need to do cname verification, rather than name server verification.
There are a few additional steps needed but all the info is here:
Thanks, that post is very informative. However, I do not see any error messages on my screen whenever an attempt to add my custom domain fails. Also, the instructions it provides actually isn’t very clear to be honest so not sure if I’m doing it properly.
Do I put 51f7aafae58a2ffa5f183c754a2c49c0.example.com or just 51f7aafae58a2ffa5f183c754a2c49c0?
Try updating your nameserver to:
Left for some hours for propagation
And then try to add it from control panel or infinityfree dashboard panel.
Try updating your nameserver to:
ns1.byet.org
ns2.byet.org
ns3.byet.org
ns4.byet.orgLeft for some hours for propagation
And then try to add it from control panel or infinityfree dashboard panel.
Thanks for that suggestion, but that also fails with the same error message.
“Authorization error. V096 Domain name is not registered to your tag”.
I have also contacted my domain provider (names.co.uk) as I’m unsure which end the problem is.
What is your domain name?
Still waiting for names.co.uk to get back to me.
That error is one from your domain registrar, not from our hosting. So we cannot really do anything to solve it.
“registered to your tag” suggests it’s a .uk domain since only .uk domains use this “tags” system. The registrar documentation from Nominet lists this exact error code as well.
Looking at the description there, it seems that your domain name is either not registered at all, or it was transferred to a different registrar.
So yes, you’ll need to figure this out with your domain registrar.
Yeah it took a while to reflect but I’ve successfully been able to add/configure my custom domain & everything seems to be working now & the domain is now live. The issue was with the provider but it has since been resolved.
I also requested & installed a SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt), however, my browser says ‘Not secure’ when I visit my domain.
Status: Active
Status: SSL certificate is installed
Thanks. All sorted now & am currently trying to figure out why my domain is not secure (see previous message).
Thanks, will try that.
might be worth clearing your cache to make sure you’ve not got a pre certificate version of the page cached
Firstly I’m glad that it seems to be working for you. I’ve cleared my browser cache to ensure that no pre certificate version of the page is cached. However, it’s still telling me that the page is not secure even though it says that my SSL certificate is valid.
very strange.
the only other thing I can suggest is to follow this guide to set up cloudflare:
and then use their tools to force https and set the dns mode to “full” (not “full (strict)”) to use their certificate setup, which seems to work quite well
Strange indeed. & thanks, will check it out.
That’s because you’re still viewing the website over HTTP.
That’s because installing an SSL certificate only makes your website capable of being accessed on HTTPS, it doesn’t enforce it. Some browsers automatically check if HTTPS is support and redirect you there if you’re trying to access the website (usually as a configuration option). However, the best way to ensure that everyone uses HTTPS to access your website is to enforce it from your website:
Thank you! That is a great reminder & very helpful. As my site is currently just a temporary landing page I completely forgot to take that into account as not all browser instances will automatically enforce it for me. Again, very helpful
