Nice. Last time I did this wasn't with Vercel (like 4 years ago) and it was way more complex than it is now. Ty

Hi, I follow these exact same steps and it's working, my domain is vizper.ai
Now, I need to add subdomain, so I have to do it on vercel, right?
I tried adding the subdomain: app.vizper.ai but the SSL seem not working properly even though Vercel has a wildcard SSL: *.vizper.ai
When I visit app.vizper.ai, still seeing an alert: this site is not secured...
Please help

Thank you for the article.
A caveat I'd like to add, is to lock the domain once you're done.

Thanks for this post! If I may add, DNS configuration can take some time to resolve in your Vercel portal, so don’t worry if it appears incorrect for a while. 😊

Could changing the nameservers break the connected Microsoft email?

Yes, changing the nameservers can disrupt your Microsoft email if the necessary DNS records (like MX, SPF, or DKIM) aren’t set up on the new nameservers.
To avoid issues, make sure you copy over the correct email DNS records when switching, or ensure the new nameservers have them in place.
