Transferring a .bot domain from Namecheap to Vercel

Problem

Hey, I want to transfer my .bot domain from Namecheap into Vercel, but I just don’t have an option to do so anywhere…

Current Behavior

If I look up my domain “to buy”, it just says “unavailable” and that’s it.

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.

bump still need help ..

Hi @leon6077-8258, welcome to the Vercel Community!

To transfer a Domain to Vercel, you need to follow the How do I transfer my domain to Vercel? | Vercel Knowledge Base guide:

Well i would love todo that, but i just dont have the option for a transfre in ..

Also i wanna use the domain “standalone” without any project on vercel due to im hosting everying on my dedi-server.

i just wanna change my domain provider ^^

Okay. This is quite misleading. I’m sorry about it. Can you try the Add Existing Domain button and add the domain using that, you can add random configurations for now. It’s just to get over this screen so you can see the Transfer In button

yea that would work. i found another “workaround” if i hard reload the page via F5 im able to see the transfer button for a second, then i can click him …

Okay. Did that work?

I’m greatly sorry because this is not the experience Vercel aims to ship. I’ve forwarded the feedback to our team.

i did not do it yet. im waiting for the auth code from namecheap ..

Okay. Just a tip: you can reduce the browser network speed to have the Transfer In button show up for longer. To do this, anywhere on the Vercel dashboard do a Right click > Inspect > Network > Throttle and choose the slow 4G or slower to really slow it down

Hi @leon6077-8258, our team merged a fix for this. You won’t have to do any hacks now. Just use the Transfer In button that comes on the Domains page.
