### Description of my issue

I hope this is the right section…

I have tried to register a new domain using [nohost.me](http://nohost.me) however when I try I get a message saying:

> You have already subscribed to a DynDNS domain

I know that you can only have 1 free domain…

I have had domains in the past which I have cancelled in the correct section of this forum and am not showing any domains in my domains list. I have tried:

`yunohost dyndns update --force`

which returns:

```auto
Info: Updated needed, going on...
Info: The operation 'Update the IP associated with your YunoHost subdomain 'dj.nohost.me'' could not be completed. Please share the full log of this operation using the command 'yunohost log share 20230421-184149-dyndns_update-dj.nohost.me' to get help
Error: Domain 'dj.nohost.me' unknown

```

The domain _**[dj.nohost.me](http://dj.nohost.me)**_ was cancelled and confirmed as cancelled a few weeks ago, but it seems that it s stuck somewhere, so my system syas that I have a domain already, but I don’t but I would like…

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks for making this domain service available.

Best wishes

Dj

It’s because the domain is already registered.

```auto
dig mx dj.nohost.me +short
10 dj.nohost.me.

dig a dj.nohost.me +short
212.159.114.66

```

So, if the ipv4 is not related to you, it means that the domain may have been taken by somebody else.

@tierce yes I understand that. I’m not trying to register [dj.nohost.me](http://dj.nohost.me), that was a domain that I once had and de-registered but for some reason it is stuck in my setup preventing me from setting up a new one.

If I go to [dj.nohost.me](http://dj.nohost.me) it goes to the admin login, and I can login, however [dj.nohost.me](http://dj.nohost.me) is not listed in my domains list.

I can see from the forum that I requested it to be removed on the 26th March and it was confirmed as deleted on the 11th April, but some how I still have it hidden away in my system and I dont know how I can get rid of it, until I do that I cant register any new YHN domains

Many thanks

Dj
