If you can also manage the Space that holds it, verify with move and the domain moves without the record. Otherwise publish the record at your DNS host and verify: once Spacefast sees it, the domain moves to this Space and the old Space stops serving it. Either way, a claim expires 24 hours after it was created; add the domain again for a new one. +- **Another Space serves it.** Adding it here creates a claim instead of failing, and returns a `_spacefast-claim.` TXT record made for this claim. Publish it at your DNS host and verify. Once Spacefast sees it, the domain moves to this Space and the old Space stops serving it. A claim doesn't expire, and it holds nothing until you prove it. If you manage both Spaces, you can also remove the domain from the other one and add it here. Keep exactly one `atomic-domain-` record per hostname. Two of them, even when one is correct, make the claim fail.
