Hi @dandelatorre,
From the question, I would take it that using the normal way you are receiving some kind of an error is that correct?
If you haven’t tried the usual way, can you please check the following documentation on it:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/how-to/add-domains/
If you are receiving an error, can you share what it is?
Regards, KFSys
Hello, @dandelatorre
The system performs a DNS lookup to see if the domain has already been added to DigitalOcean. If it has, you’ll receive a message that says that the domain example.com: Name already exists. If the domain has not been previously added to DigitalOcean’s DNS service, it will be added.
Please reach out to our amazing support team who will be more than happy to assist you with your account issue! :)

I get the same problem. I have not added it anywhere and I just registered the domain. How can it ‘already exist’ in DO?
I need to get it added. how do I escalate?
