Using Vercel DNS with subdomain

I’m using AWS Route 53 to manage my apex domain (I cannot move the apex to Vercel due to external factors), and I’d like Vercel to manage the DNS on a subdomain on it instead so that I can easily add new subdomains to that subdomain via Vercel vs having to manually edit Route 53 records when I connect a new project.

I only get a “CNAME (Recommended)” option after setting TXT verification. How do I get the option to assign the Vercel nameservers to it? Not sure if it matters, but it is a “.ai” domain.

The screenshot here shows “or Nameservers” for a subdomain, which is what I’m trying to accomplish:

The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for bonus points.

You can also use v0 to narrow down the possibilities.

Hey @theo-airtopai! It sounds like NS records would give you what you want. There’s a guide with setup steps. Just make sure you use the tips to adapt it for a subdomain instead of the apex domain. :smile:
