Problem Adding Custom Domain - Another site is already using

[hrishikesh]

Hey @LI-Huabing,

The domain has been removed from the other site.

Hi Hrishikesh, I’m having the same issue for domain uribedav.com. I get the message - uribedav.com is already registered. If you registered this domain name through a different registrar, select Add domain to begin delegating it to Netlify.

Hey there, @dave1 welcome to the Netlify Forums.

this is happening because the custom domain you’re trying to use already exists on Netlify under a different account.

If you have some idea of who might be using the domain (maybe a previous collaborator or an agency you’ve worked with in the past?), the quickest way to get this resolved is for you to contact that person directly and ask them to remove the domain from their account here:

Netlify App > “Options” dropdown > “Remove domain”

If you’re not sure, please verify domain ownership and let us know by responding here when that’s done. If the verification is successful we can remove the domain from the other account so you can use it on yours.

I’m facing the same problem. tusharhasan.com is already registered. If you registered this domain name through a different registrar, select Add domain to begin delegating it to Netlify.

Please solve this issue.

Anyone experiencing this issue should show support for it being made something you can self-service:

Self-service custom domain migration between Netlify accounts

ISSUE Currently when your domain is associated with a Netlify account and you want to migrate it to another Netlify account you must have access to the original Netlify account, otherwise you need to contact support to get it removed from the original account. Using the ticket system for such a migration request, (like we’re experiencing now), takes 48 * n hours on a Pro or Business account. Thus far it has been 42 hours for the initial response (only confirming verification instructions), and…

could you try again, and if it does not work to add the domain, could you please grab a screenshot and comment here with that screenshot? thanks!

[Filriya]

Yes I asked the other account (collaborator) to delete the domain and he did. He also deleted the app just to be sure and I still have the error custom_domain is owned by another account.

Site name: geniuzedu

Thanks for the quick reply!!

[ajunior]

I’ve done all the steps:

1. asking collaborator to remove de domain
2. Add TXT record

Can you help me with this?

Best regards!
