"Domain Name Already Exists" Error - When Adding DNS for Droplet

Posted on March 25, 2015

I am trying to add DNS management for my droplet. When I try to add the domain I get an error message: “Domain Name Already Exists” ?

A while back I did try out Digital Ocean - but cancelled my account. I am back now and wondering if this might be stuck in the system?

one of my domain Example link showing “Domain Name Already Exists” Error . what should I have to do

Its been 4 days since i submitted this problem with a domain, no one answers, it looks like there is no support working, all i keep getting are bot replies

Domain “XXXXXXXXXXX” name already exists

my case is exactly the same, it was in another account which i cancelled

This question was answered by @maxrbaldwin2328:

You have to contact support. I did something similar. I registered my domain name with a different droplet, deleted that droplet and the created a new one. Contact support and they will release the domain from the other droplet. It took them about an hour to response.
