Using Vercel DNS with subdomain

Help
1

I’m using AWS Route 53 to manage my apex domain (I cannot move the apex to Vercel due to external factors), and I’d like Vercel to manage the DNS on a subdomain on it instead so that I can easily add new subdomains to that subdomain via Vercel vs having to manually edit Route 53 records when I connect a new project.

I only get a “CNAME (Recommended)” option after setting TXT verification. How do I get the option to assign the Vercel nameservers to it? Not sure if it matters, but it is a “.ai” domain.

The screenshot here shows “or Nameservers” for a subdomain, which is what I’m trying to accomplish:

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.

Hey @theo-airtopai! It sounds like NS records would give you what you want. There’s a guide with setup steps. Just make sure you use the tips to adapt it for a subdomain instead of the apex domain. :smile:
