Transfer this domain to this team in order to use Vercel nameservers

I have the domain portfolio.website registered with Namecheap.
I successfully connected the root domain (portfolio.website) to my Vercel project by adding the required A, CNAME, and TXT records provided by Vercel in my Namecheap DNS settings.

However, I’m having trouble adding a wildcard subdomain (*.portfolio.website) to the same project. When I try, I receive the following error message:

“Please move this domain to this team in order to use Vercel nameservers.”

I don’t have any other Vercel accounts using this domain and i own this domain name.

The nameservers point to whichever registrar is in charge of your domain config, so you can either

  • keep Namecheap name servers and set vercel A, CNAME, and TXT records in your namecheap dashboard
  • or, set Vercel name servers in Namecheap dashboard, then set A, CNAME, and TXT records in your Vercel domains dashboard

It sounds like you have everything set up for Namecheap, but you’re trying to add the wildcard via Vercel and it’s asking to you point the name servers (on Namecheap) to Vercel in order to manage it here
