@JohnPMills - i have asked a Support Engineer on the best way to do this to minimize downtime. He comes on shift in a few hours so we will have a response for you soon.
@blaqinq4ksoftwash876 - your case is a bit different if you lost access to the netlify acct. (we can maybe get you that back). I’d recommend you go through these steps - assuming that you weren’t using Netlify DNS you should be able to create a DNS record that proves you own that domain, like so:
if you were using Netlify DNS, and you are locked out of the corresponding netlify acct…we’ll have to take you through some secondary verification. let me know if you can create the verification record first as indicated above and we’ll cross the other bridge when we get there.
