However, because `.work.gd` is a shared public suffix, I only control my specific subdomain and physically cannot add records to the root `work.gd` domain. ## Current Status - The Vercel support bot previously confirmed that my DNS is properly configured. - I have successfully added the required `vc-domain-verify` `TXT` record to my subdomain at: `_vercel.rudrasachapara.work.gd` Could a staff member please manually check this record and verify my domain ownership so I can complete my deployment? Thank you! system (@system) · 2026-03-05 The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you.

Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-03-05 Hi @rudrasachapara21, welcome to the Vercel Community! I understand you want to use `.work.gd` but we don't have it as a TLD because it's not part of the [https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat](https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat). Once it's part of this list, we can update our internal list to have the verification work.
