Attention! You can only verify domain ownership by adding a TXT record, as described in this article. Confirmation by other means (for example, using screenshots of the dashboard panel) is impossible.
The same domain cannot be added simultaneously in several accounts. If, when adding a domain, a message appears stating that it is already being served, then it has already been added to the control panel of one of our users. To remedy the situation, follow the steps below that are appropriate for your situation.
Upon attempt add to the section "Domains »A domain registered with another registrar may display the following message:
This means that a domain with this name has already been added in the section "Domains »In another user's account. To add a domain to yourself, you need to verify ownership of it.
The record must be added for the main domain, not for subdomains. Most often, when adding a record for the main domain, you need a field Subdomain
/subdomain
/name

depending on the requirements of the NS owner.
If the domain is directed to third-party NS, do the following:
In the NS owner panel on which the domain is served, add a TXT record with the text for the main domain (not subdomain)
move-to-user=XXXXXX
where instead of
XXXXXX
substitute
your account identifier (ID)to add the domain to.
Wait about 30 minutes.

where instead of
XXXXXX
