# Vercel custom domain returns ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED despite valid configuration

## Problem
My custom domain is configured on Vercel with **"Valid Configuration"** shown on both the domain and the project. The Vercel CDN shows as **Active** and the nameservers are set to:
- `ns1.vercel-dns.com` 
- `ns2.vercel-dns.com` 

However, the browser returns:
> **Error: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED**

The `.vercel.app` deployment URL works fine.

## What I've Tried
1. Reassigned the domain to the project multiple times
2. Reset and re-added DNS records
3. Waited 22+ hours for propagation

Has anyone had this issue?

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](https://community.vercel.com/t/introducing-the-vercel-leaderboard/1358).

You can also use [v0](https://v0.dev/) to narrow down the possibilities.
