# Manual domain verification for public suffix .work.gd on Vercel

Hi Vercel Team,

## Problem
I need manual verification for my project’s domain: `rudrasachapara.work.gd` 

The Vercel dashboard is prompting me to add a `TXT` record to the apex `_vercel.work.gd`. 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!

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. Then you can come back here and share the answer for [bonus points](https://community.vercel.com/t/introducing-the-vercel-leaderboard/1358).

You can also use [v0](https://v0.dev/) to narrow down the possibilities.

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.
