How to set up wildcard subdomains for a domain on a different Vercel account

[brandstartnyc (Asm)]

I have a domain (brandstart.nyc) registered on Namecheap and added to my Vercel Hobby account. My client projects live on a separate Team account.

I want to set up wildcard subdomains (*.brandstart.nyc) so each client project gets its own subdomain (e.g. clientname.brandstart.nyc).

The Problem

• Wildcard domains require Vercel nameservers.
• Vercel nameservers are tied to the Hobby account where the domain currently lives.
• The Team account won’t let me add the wildcard because the domain belongs to a different account.

I tried the NS delegation workaround (_acme-challenge NS records), but I’m still blocked by the domain ownership conflict between accounts.

Questions

1. What’s the cleanest way to get wildcard subdomains working on my Team account?
2. Do I need to fully remove the domain from the Hobby account first and re-add it on the Team?
3. Will that cause downtime for anything currently pointed at the domain?

Any guidance appreciated.

The cleanest, fastest way to get wildcard subdomains working on your Team account is to move the domain from your Hobby account over to the team.

You don’t need to remove it first. Just transfer the domain to your team.

I wouldn’t expect downtime if the domain is already configured for use with the project on the Team you’re moving it to
