I got a free subdomain from DNS EXIT (qasimjamil.work.gd). I was looking forward to using this for my portfolio, but when I went to add this domain I got the following message
Domain is pending verification
Another Vercel account is using this domain. Set the following TXT record on _vercel.work.gd to use qasimjamil.work.gd in this project. Once the verification is completed and the domain is successfully configured, the TXT record can be removed.
It gave me a TXT record which I added to the DNS, it has been 2 days and its still verifying. While I waited I signed up for Google Search Console and they had a similar process for verifying ownership. When I put their TXT content on the domain provider it verified my ownership in seconds but I am still waiting for Vercel to verify. I have cleared my DNS cache and made sure that I spelled everything properly and its still not working.
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.
You can also use v0 to narrow down the possibilities.
If a free subdomain provider hasn’t registered on the Public Suffix List, then the root domain is what Vercel’s domain checking system uses to match a domain with an account. We solved a similar issue a few months back:
Please let me know if you get the domain added as a public suffix. Then, I can make sure everything is set up correctly on our side to support it.
Do you include it now? I’m now verifying *.dpdns.org still asking me to verify _vercel.dpdns.org with TXT Record, other Public Suffixes don’t have this issue.
