Hello, @robertoamarillas1

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 Data domain example.com: Name already exists.

I will recommend to log into any account the domain may have been added to previously and check the network menu to see if the domain name still exists there.

Hope this helps!

Regards, Alex

Hello, i already did and 2 days gone by, and still no one answers, i still get that same error, they only send a preformatted answer, like a bot

this is disconcerting for a company as big as D.O. to be honest
