I need to add a custom domain that I had bought from SQUARESPACE athletefit.in
But I’m getting an error
" A DNS zone for this domain already exists on NS1, the DNS provider backing NETLIFY DNS "
“Please contact NS1 with the domain name for support”
I contacted NS1 for the support they me to reach out to NETLIFY.
SQUARESPACE domain name that I was trying to add to NETLIFY is athletefit.in
Thanks for reaching out and welcome to Netlify’s Support Forums!
This support guide should help with resolving this issue:
Alternatively, perhaps this domain has been used with another service (such as Squarespace) who, like Netlify, utilise NS1 to deliver their service. It might have even have been used by somebody who owned the domain before you! There are two potential solutions:
Discover which other service you have used this domain with. You will need to contact that service and request them to remove the configuration for this domain at NS1. This is likely to be the only straightforward solution which will enable you to use our Netlify DNS , with this domain name. Unfortunately, NS1 are unable to tell us the service provider where this domain is already configured. However, in case you don’t know which provider this was, you may try the below step instead.
If nothing else above works , instead of using Netlify DNS, you can use the external DNS instructions to connect the domain name to the site at Netlify. Note that this can be just as fast as using our DNS hosting, as explained in this support guide .
