added vercel domain verification

@maxwofford can you help me to merge this

[maxwofford]

It looks like this removes the verification for hackerabad.hackclub.com. Did you mean to do that? If you want both, you could do something like this:

_vercel:
  ttl: 1
  type: TXT
  values: 
    - vc-domain-verify=hackerabad.hackclub.com,6c3d5d32a250935189d8
    - vc-domain-verify=hackbeats.hackclub.com,5f61f2ff84f3521a0a57

@maxwofford facing some issues with the approach

[maxwofford]

cc @kunalbotla – i think you were playing with multiple vercel accounts using HC domains.

[kumar-kalyan]

what should I do now to verify my dns

[kunalbotla]

unfortunately, you can only use vercel with dino.icu domains. you can add the same records you have to that file

[kumar-kalyan]

@kunalbotla so should I host the websit on netlify will that work

[kunalbotla]

yeah that would work

[maggie-j-liu]

hi @kunalbotla and @kum9748ar! actually vercel does support multiple accounts for one domain now; i updated the readme with the instructions. i think what max put here https://github.com/hackclub/dns/pull/702#issuecomment-1148938535 is correct

[kunalbotla]

@maggie-j-liu can you link me to that? we have a custom configuration with vercel on dino.icu that allowed it, but not on the others for security reasons.

edit: saw the link

[kunalbotla]

@maggie-j-liu & @kum9748ar, that's for transferring a domain's ownership. if you were to add that record, it would remove hackclub.com from Hack Club's Vercel account. dino.icu is the domain configured as an eTLD for Vercel

[maggie-j-liu]

hii @kunalbotla i've tested this and it's not the case... it doesn't transfer the domain; it just delegates a subdomain to another account. you're able to get the subdomain back if you ever need to use it by removing the verification record

[kunalbotla]

@maggie-j-liu could you point me to where they say that?

[maggie-j-liu]

it doesn't say that it will transfer the domain to the other account...

If the domain is in use by another Vercel account, you may be prompted to verify access to the domain.

verify access doesn't mean transfer to another account?

i'm happy to open a pr and add a subdomain to hackclub.com as an example

[maxwofford]

@maggie-j-liu that'd be helpful for testing! that way we can also check that removing the verification TXT record removes the subdomain from Vercel immediately.

[maggie-j-liu]

in my testing, removing the verification record does not remove the subdomain. however, if you then add the subdomain to your own account and add your own verification record, then the subdomain on the other account will stop working

[kumar-kalyan]

@maxwofford @kunalbotla @maggie-j-liu can I get a feedback on my last commit

[kunalbotla]

@maggie-j-liu I don't want to test this in production. let me reach out to Vercel to see if they have any information.

[kumar-kalyan]

Hey can I get a feedback on this

[kumar-kalyan]

Unable to verify domain at vercel

@kumar-kalyan @maggie-j-liu @maxwofford @kunalbotla, following up on this PR. Should it be closed?
