custom hostname does not CNAME to this zone

At a glance

The community member is having trouble connecting their domain "fjellfrosk.no" provided by "domene.shop" and is receiving the error message "custom hostname does not CNAME to this zone.". Another community member suggests that the issue is likely due to the registrar not supporting top-level CNAME edits, and recommends transferring the domain to Cloudflare, which is a free service. The community member also mentions a video that provides information on how to transfer the domain.

Hi, i need help connecting my domain if someone is willing. I'm not that experienced but enough to take help. I'm getting the message "custom hostname does not CNAME to this zone.". I can send screenshots of everything if needed. My domain provider is "domene.shop" and my domain is "fjellfrosk.no"

If I understand the problem correctly, your registrar doesn't support top-level edits (you can't make cname edits). This domain should be transferred to cloudflare (it's free). Video about this and how to transfer the domain.
