Why is my DNS zone not active yet?


If the DNS settings panel shows that your DNS zone is not active yet, you have probably used custom nameservers or URL forwarding.

You can only manage Freenom DNS if you have selected the the default Freenom nameservers.

You will have to go back to the Domain details page, and then select the Name servers option from the Management Tools tab. On the name server settings page, you'll be able to set the domain to use (our) default name servers.
