Manual approval request for eii.edu.eu and www.eii.edu.eu

Hi Vercel Team,

I am trying to add the following subdomains to my project:

  • eii.edu.eu

  • www.eii.edu.eu

However, I am stuck at the verification step.

The Issue:
Vercel asks me to add a TXT record at _vercel.edu.eu to prove ownership. I do NOT own or control the root domain edu.eu. It is a shared/public domain suffix. My DNS administrator has already confirmed they cannot add records to the root domain because I do not own it.

What I have access to:
I have full DNS control over the subdomains themselves (eii.edu.eu and www.eii.edu.eu), just not the parent zone (edu.eu).

Request:
Since edu.eu appears to be treated as a shared public suffix, could you please either:

  1. Manually approve these subdomains for my account (Project: eei-website), or

  2. Adjust the verification requirement so that it checks for the TXT record at _vercel.eii.edu.eu (the subdomain level) instead of the root level.

I understand this is a limitation with the Public Suffix List, but I cannot change the DNS for the root domain. Please let me know if there is a workaround or manual approval process for this specific case.

Thank you!

For security reasons, we cannot verify domains on your behalf. If you can get edu.eu added to the public suffix list, then you’ll be able to verify it yourself.

3

The .edu.eu domain extension is a specialized top-level domain designed specifically for the European education sector.

Hi Milos, this tld isn’t in the official https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat so we don’t support verification without TXT on this.
