Zone in a hold

What is the name of the domain?

getpocketbook.com

What is the error message?

The zone name provided is subject to a hold which disallows the creation of this zone. Please contact the domain owner to have this hold removed.

What is the issue you’re encountering

Issues with setting up a CDN service, do to hold of zone.

I’ve also changed NS for domain to
sp1.gname-dns.com
sp2.gname-dns.com

The domain has previously been on Cloudflare (5 months ago) and the zone hold means it was in an Enterprise account where the then owner locked it to prevent it being added to another account.

If you purchased the domain from a domain seller/broker, check it wasn’t them that did this. Otherwise, you’ll need to raise a support ticket to ask Cloudflare for help to get the hold removed.

I’ve bought this domain on auction. And opened a case Case ID: 01389809

Contact who you bought it from, see if they put the hold on. Otherwise, wait on the ticket.

Hello there,

We’re sorry that you’re experiencing difficulties with zone ownership verification.

Could you please add the following TXT verification record at your authoritative DNS to confirm the domain ownership?

Type: TXT Name: cf-dns-verify.xxxxxDOMAINxxxxxx Value: xxxxxRrandomStringof20Charsxxxxxx

Once this record is in place, please let us know so we can assist further. I’m sorry for any delay this step causes as we ensure the safety and privacy of your account. Thank you for being part of Cloudflare!

THAT’S WHAT I GOT from support, but the thing is that I have a free account, so I can’t access support dashboard. Is there any way to get access or get the right string for that TXT record?
Tthanks in advance
