🚧 Subdomain Verification Issue with Vercel (Important Notice)

[sudheerbhuvana]

What’s happening

• A subdomain like example.indevs.in is registered under our Bring Your Own DNS / Delegation model
• The subdomain is delegated directly to Vercel nameservers
• Vercel requires a _vercel TXT record only when the domain or subdomain is already linked to another Vercel account

However, under the delegation model:

• Indevs does not allow adding DNS records once delegation is enabled
• Vercel does not allow DNS management until ownership verification is completed

➡️ This creates a verification deadlock, where the required TXT record cannot be added on either side.

Root cause (important)

This is not a DNS misconfiguration and not an Indevs issue.

Vercel currently relies on a Public Suffix List (PSL) snapshot that does not yet recognize indevs.in as a registrable root domain.

As a result:

• Subdomains such as:

  • x.indevs.in
  • y.indevs.in

• Are incorrectly treated as belonging to a single owner / Vercel account

This prevents using different *.indevs.in subdomains across multiple Vercel accounts or organizations.

⚠️ The same behavior has been observed with Netlify as well.

---

Current status & resolution

• This is a known limitation on the platform side (Vercel / Netlify)

• Once their Public Suffix List is updated to recognize indevs.in as a root domain:

  • Each *.indevs.in subdomain will be treated independently
  • Ownership verification will work as expected

Until then, TXT-based verification under delegation is not possible.
