Wildcard Domain Not Adding – "Please Move Domain to This Team" Issue

Help
1

I am trying to add a wildcard domain (*.sellr.live) to my Vercel project, but it’s not letting me add it. The error says:
“Please move this domain to this team in order to use Vercel nameservers”
However, I only have one team in my Vercel account, so there’s no other team to move it to.

  1. Go to Project → Settings → Domains → Add Domain
  2. Enter *.sellr.live
  3. Get error: “Please move this domain to this team in order to use Vercel nameservers”
  4. No way to move the domain since there is only one team
  5. The domain may have been linked to a different Vercel account previously

To verify ownership, I followed Vercel’s suggestion and added this TXT record in Cloudflare:

Type: TXT
Name: _vercel.sellr.live
Value: vc-domain-verify=sellr.live,c04bab0ca086e6edcefd

pgsql
Copy
Edit

:white_check_mark: TXT record is visible in DNS
:cross_mark: Still unable to add the domain

  • Framework: Next.js
  • Hosting: Vercel
  • Domain: sellr.live (wildcard setup required: *.sellr.live)
  • DNS provider: Cloudflare (not using Vercel nameservers)
  • I want to continue using Cloudflare DNS, not switch to Vercel nameservers

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.

Hi @mrpilot10, welcome to the Vercel Community!

Sorry that you are facing this issue. I’ve reached out to Domain experts in our team to help you with this. I’ll keep you posted here.

Hi @mrpilot10, it seems like this domain was owned by another Vercel team. To help you further, we will need to verify domain ownership. Let me send you the instructions in the private message.

Please note that to use wildcard domains you’ll need to use Vercel Nameservers.

Thanks for confirming @mrpilot10. I’ve confirmed the verification process. You should be able to add the wildcard now. However, you must use Vercel’s DNS or Nameservers to use configure wildcard domains correctly.

Let’s continue the discussion here.

So i should change the ns to Vercel?

  • ns1.vercel-dns.com
  • ns2.vercel-dns.com

I’d recommend to follow the https://vercel.com/guides/wildcard-domain-without-vercel-nameservers guide or the steps on the Domains configuration page on your Vercel dashboard.
