Yes… This is the canned response to every single one of these questions. But there’s never a follow-up when customers explain that the domain should not be owned by any other company. We are the domain owners, unless you’re talking about google domains. But I haven’t found anything specifically related to google domains hijacking cloudflare accounts like this.

Correct, zones subject to a hold cannot be added until the hold is clear

There is no hijacking happening.

For how long have you owned the domain? It’s possible the hold predates your ownership, the domain was using cloudflare nameservers 11 years ago

If the history is not helpful in tracking down the account owner, (I suspect it’s the same person that holds the permission to changing nameservers at the domain registrar), we may need to enlist Support to assist. If that is the case, can you create an Account ticket and share your ticket number here? You can open an Account ticket here, https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/support
