CNAME record for new sub-domain

(edited)

Quesion:

Can I change the CNAME "name" record for a subdomain?

Why I ask?

Because I need the subdomain for email setting, and Vercel gave me record like:

Type: CNAME Name: team05 <--- this is my sub-domain name

Now... Outlook wants to add a CNAME, also with the name of "team05", and it seems to be a conflict.... so... Could Vercel change the name? Or should I ask Microsoft to change the name???

I tried to change vercel record in GoDaddy to team05-vercel, and now I am getting an error in the configuration from Vercel, and apparently I can't change the name in your system for the record?

Can somebody help with an advice?

Hey . I think you're asking if Vercel has a way to make your subdomain (team05.example.com) work even if you used a different DNS configuration. The address needs to match the record so the global DNS network can direct traffic correctly. Unfortunately, that's a DNS requirement outside of any website host's control.

Instead, you could use a different subdomain for either Outlook or your website.

Ok thanks..

I will have to talk to Microsoft see what they can do...

I need the subdomain for email purposes... i wonder if I even need to host it?

I will ask microsoft what they can do for me to be able to get emails under a subdomain and see if I can avoid name conflict on the DNS
