Using GoDaddy Domain for my InfinityFree project

[KangJL]

What is the domain?

[huffkinson]

@huffkinson

onefm.ph

Your domain points to InfinityFree, so you should be able to add it to an account.

As for this:

@huffkinson

set the CName

You either use the nameservers or create a CNAME record, you can’t do both. Since you have changed the nameservers, you don’t need to add a CNAME record (and it wouldn’t work anyway).

[huffkinson]

so, i’ll just wait until my domain truly redirects to my infinityfree project. i just changed it a while ago so i guess the changes will reflect after some time?

[KangJL]

Did you add domain to hosting account?

[huffkinson]

are you referring to “Add Record” to the DNS record here in infinityfree?

[KangJL]

No

[huffkinson]

well i haven’t done anything yet in InfinityFree other that getting the nameserver and putting it in my GoDaddy account.

[KangJL]

So long this is present and you did not do anything

You can keep waiting… please add domain to hosting account

[huffkinson]

so, how can i add the domain to my hosting account? maybe this is the part that i don’t know

[huffkinson]

this is all that there is in my DNS records…

What does Subdomain / Addon Domain / Parked Domain mean

In the control panel, you’ll find the sections called Addon Domains, Parked Domains and Subdomains. What do all those different domain types mean? What is a subdomain? In general, a subdomain is a domain which is a part of another domain name. So if you have the domain name example.com, then test.example.com would be a subdomain of example.com.

After adding a domain name, it can take up to 72 hours for it to be visible everywhere due to DNS caching. You can read more about that here:

When will my domain name start working

If you’ve just created your account, or just added a new domain name to an account, you may be surprised that you are unable to view your website when using the domain.
