Unable to create a Cloud DNS zone

[mountaincode2]

I am unable to create a DNS zone in my project. I get the following error:

The domain "<domainnmame.com.>" (or its child domains) may be reserved or registered already, prohibited by policy, or there may be no DNS name server shards remaining for the name. For more information see https://cloud.google.com/dns/quotas#nameserver_limits.

How can i go about with this?

Hi @mountaincode2,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Since deleting a project in Google Cloud doesn't necessarily remove the reservation for the domain name associated with it, it prevents the creation of a DNS zone. 

Base on the documentation, A new managed zone of a domain, for example domain.example.tld, cannot be assigned to a shard if any of the following already exists on the same shard: 

Because of these restrictions, the following limitations apply to public managed zones:

• You can create a maximum of five zones with the exact same DNS name.

• For any parent domain, you can create a maximum of five levels of subdomains.

I hope the above information is helpful.

I had to delete the DNS zones from a few projects in order to be able to create a new DNS zone in my new project.
