*.uk.to is a free domain provided by https://freedns.afraid.org, but when i try to add accordchat.uk.to it tells me to make a TXT record at _vercel.uk.to, which i cant cause i dont own the uk.to domain. How can i register it?

Hi, @cyteon! Welcome to the Vercel Community :smile: 

It looks like FreeDNS by Afraid.org allows full DNS management, including services for both free and premium users. It supports dynamic DNS (DDNS), static DNS, and domain hosting, and lets you manage your own domains or choose subdomains from a shared registry. [You can configure various DNS records such as A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, and more.](https://freedns.afraid.org/signup/features/)

Could you try adding the TXT record? I've also linked the following community post which may be helpful.

Hi, I get the errors

"
Creation of records beginning with ‘_’ are presently restricted to the domain owner only by default - this is temporary (2016-02-10) please contact [dnsadmin@afraid.org](mailto:dnsadmin@afraid.org) if you need access.

The hostname _vercel.uk.to is already taken!"

Trying to make a txt record at _vercel.uk.to.
