Domain Ownership Verification Request — “This domain is used by another team”

Hello Netlify Team,

I’m trying to set up my domain (e.g., readyplayaone.netlify.app) in my Netlify account, but I receive the error message:

“This domain is used by another team.”

I previously used this domain under a different Netlify account/team that was reset. Now I need to verify ownership so I can attach it to my current team.

I am adding a TXT record at my DNS host with the following details:

  • Name: verified-for-netlify
  • Value/Text: [LINK TO THIS POST]

Could you please check that TXT record and help me free up the domain so I can use it under my new account?

Thank you! My account email is the same as here.

We’ve routed this request to our helpdesk, we’ll follow up via email.
