What’s the domain name I should check?

ards.ml
www.ards.ml

I changed ns for Cloudflare and it worked fine but whenever I change it for infinityfree.
it starts giving above mentioned error message.

It gave an error message saying the domain was in use when you pointed it to our nameservers, but it worked fine when you pointed it to Cloudflare’s nameservers?

Then the fix is simple, right? Just point it to Cloudflare’s nameservers and call it a day?

kindly guide me on how to set up with Cloudflare so I can connect this domain with infinityfree hosting.
I tried to connect infinityfree with Cloudflare but could not succeed.

Before you can use Cloudflare, you need to set your namseservers to ns1.epizy.com and ns2.epizy.com. Add your domain to your account, then follow this guide

This is what I see for now

but I am unable to add to the infinityfree account.
I have changed them back to default.
now I again pointed them back to infinityfree
but still the same problem

whenever I change the name server for infinityfree, hostbuzz.pw start showing otherwise if I use another DNS server it works fine.
I do not know what is issue when using infinityfree DNS.

Other Domains are working fine.


Did you try reading the error message?

yes, I did. but I did not host it anywhere else.

I recently register it on freenom and after that only tried to connect it with infinityfree.
when I enter Cloudflare DNS, those DNS do not give any error.
but when I point towards infinityfree it gives the above error.

other domains are connecting fine with infinityfree.
I am not using it anywhere else.

Just to be very clear:

THE ISSUE IS THAT THE DOMAIN IS IN USE ON OUR PLATFORM.

This is what the error message says very clearly.

I don’t know why you keep talking about nameservers and Cloudflare and other domains. If you think about it, the message “the domain is already in use” makes it immediately obvious that it’s not a nameserver problem, the issue is specific to this domain and other companies (like Cloudflare) would not be affected by this.

Most likely, someone else had registered this domain name before you did, and used it on another hosting company using the same platform as we do (hostbuzz.pw).

The domain has been removed from the old account at hostbuzz.pw now, so you should be able to add it to your account now.
