Please release orphaned vayyl.vercel.app — bound but no deployment behind it - Help

I'm requesting the release of an orphaned .vercel.app subdomain: vayyl.vercel.app

Requesting account: satishjalan9163@gmail.com Team: satish-jalans-projects (team_gX1YcpHweCFh9cUALS7vGcIV) Target project: vayyl (prj_AAGTBH9FtWbFHdN2dflDm8NwaTfQ)

The name appears to be bound but orphaned — it routes to Vercel infrastructure yet has no deployment behind it.

curl -I https://vayyl.vercel.app/

vayyl.vercel.app

404: NOT_FOUND

The deployment could not be found on Vercel.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK X-Powered-By: Next.js X-Vercel-Id: bom1::iad1::8mfw6-1788889640203-9c70e9bc663a (no x-vercel-error header; body is Vercel's own "404: NOT_FOUND / DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND" page)

A genuinely unclaimed name behaves differently — rejected at the edge, never reaching compute:

curl -I https://vayyl-probe-9f3k2x.vercel.app/ HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found X-Vercel-Error: DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND

So vayyl.vercel.app still resolves through to a compute region (iad1) and returns 200, but nothing is deployed there.

The previous holder was Aakash Mandal (Vercel username akm2006, aakashmandal10@gmail.com). He has already removed the domain from his project and is cooperating with this request. Querying /v13/deployments/vayyl.vercel.app with his own token now returns not_found across both of his scopes, so his account no longer holds it either.

Neither of us can attach the name — both accounts get "assigned to another project" in the dashboard.

My project is currently live at vayyll.vercel.app (two L's) and I'd like to move it to the one-L name, which our GitHub repo homepage has always pointed at.

If the name is in fact still held by an active project on another team, please let me know and I'll use a custom domain instead.

There's another community post with 404 debugging tips that might be helpful. Please give these solutions a try and let us know how it goes.

Debugging 404 Errors

Sometimes things don’t go as expected when deploying a website. If you see a 404 on your site, that means the page or resource couldn’t be found. There are...

A human should be around soon to offer more advice. But you can also get helpful information quickly by asking v0.

That subdomain is owned by an existing project. I'd suggest using an alternative subdomain, like you've already done. Or you can buy a custom domain

The other option is for Aakash Mandal to remove the domain or delete the project if they are willing to do that. But please don't harass another Vercel customer to get ownership of their domain.
