I am trying to add my domain “krishnakumar.tech” to my team site, but I am receiving the error: "krishnakumar.tech or one of its subdomains is already managed by Netlify DNS on another team."
I purchased this domain and have full control over its DNS records. To verify my ownership, I have added a TXT record:
Host:verified-for-netlify
Value:netlify-support-#1054221
Could you please verify this record and release the domain from the other account so I can add it to my site?
I am trying to add my domain krishnakumar.tech to my current team site, but I’m blocked by the classic error: “already managed by Netlify DNS on another team.” I have followed all standard security protocols and immediately verified my ownership by deploying the required TXT record:
Host:verified-for-netlify.krishnakumar.tech
Value:netlify-support-#1054221
Despite completing this verification, my support request has sat completely unacknowledged.
The Wider Trend: 22+ Day Resolution Delays
After digging through recent community forum threads and public posts, I realized my situation isn’t an isolated incident. There is a deeply concerning pattern of developers suffering from severe delays—some waiting upwards of 22 days or more—just to get a verified domain released from stale or dead accounts.
For any developer, a production domain held in limbo completely stalls project rollouts, live migrations, and business launches. While security and verification guardrails are completely understandable, keeping a domain hostaged after ownership proof has been established is a critical operational failure.
Direct Appeal to Netlify Support & Leadership
I am posting this here to bring immediate internal visibility to this ticket.
To the Support Team, Community Managers, and Netlify Leadership:
Please have an agent check the TXT record for verified-for-netlify.krishnakumar.tech, confirm my ownership, and manually purge the stale DNS reference so I can link it to my active project.
Let’s turn these 22-day turnaround times back into the swift, developer-friendly support Netlify was built on.
Thank you to any community manager or engineer who can escalate Ticket #1054221 immediately.
