How to point your domain name to InfinityFree nameservers

Before you can add your domain name to your hosting account, you need to point it to the InfinityFree nameservers. The nameservers of your domain name are a setting at your domain registrar to allow you to host a domain name with a different provider. So you need to change these settings at the site where you bought your domain name. Most registrars have different panels and we can’t cover them all in this guide. For this guide, we’ll use NameSilo as an example. Step 0: Find the correct namese…

Thank you so much for your reply. My domain manager is regery.com. What you listed are their nameservers. This is the process I followed (and it all worked until yesterday):

1. Changed the nameservers at my registrar to Infinityfree’s.
2. Waited for propagation
3. After my directory was created, put my html into .htaccess
4. Changed my nameserver back to my provider (I need to do this for email forwarding).
5. Adjusted the DNS records to point to my new site @ infinityfree.
6. Waited again for propagation.
7. Everything worked well!
8. Created and auto-installed SSL certificate.
9. Waited for propagation.
10. SSL (and website) both worked well for over a week.
11. Now not working.
12. MYSTERY!
13. Here are my DNS entries:
    
    

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

You claimed

Yet this is what I see

You need to get rid of other A/CNAME records pointing to 15.197.130.221

Something seems to be wrong with your domain name.

If I check the WHOIS information for your domain, I see it’s using the nameservers ns1-3.regery.com. But when I do an actual DNS lookup, your domain is actually pointing to the nameservers verify1-3.registrar.eu.

This is not supposed to happen, and usually indicates a bug in the system or a restriction placed on your domain by the registrar or registry.

Please contact Regery about this, they should be able to tell more about this on their end. This doesn’t seem to be a hosting issue or a configuration issue which anyone in this topic can fix.

[BigLion]

Yes, I understand and see that. Thank you so much. I am contacting them now.

For the benefit of other members: the registry sent an “email verification” email last week. It ended up in my junk mail. Since I didn’t reply, they temporarily suspended the domain. I need to reply, and re-propagate. Motto: make SURE your domain registrar is sent to an email that you closely watch and that their address is white-listed (not marked as spam).

Thanks to @KangJL , @Admin (and ALL the helpful members here)
