Error when linking domain: Another site is already using this domain

[Director_Engineering]

“Another site is already using this domain”

Site name: hack4impact-mcgill.netlify.app

The hack4impact.org domain is used in other netlify projects, I am attempting to link the subdomain mcgill.hack4impact.org to this netlify project. It is not working. Is this subdomain in use in another netlify project?

Posted the original question here:

Another site is already using this domain Sep 26, 2024

Getting an “Another site is already using this domain” error when attempting to link the domain mcgill.hack4impact.org to our website hack4impact-mcgill.netlify.app. The original account on which it was deployed is likely unattainable, I’d like to verify our domain to overwrite the old website. I have followed the steps listed in [Support Guide] "another site is using this domain" Verifying domain ownership for Netlify production domain to configure the verification domain

hello thanks for reaching out! I’m not seeing a txt record for this domain.

% host -t txt verified-for-netlify.hack4impact.org

Host verified-for-netlify.hack4impact.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Can you follow the instructions in this guide?

Oops, I will be fixing that soon. Before I do, I’d like to ask. Is it possible that the same domain be used to deploy on two different netlify accounts (as long as they are different subdomains)?

For example, I’d like to deploy at mcgill.hack4impact.org, but would like to ensure that www.hack4impact.org’s deployment stays up on a different netlify account.

Thanks in advance

Not by default. Can be enabled by sending a ticket from Support (needs a Pro+ plan).
