Domain already in use

domain_in_use

This domain, or a domain this one would cover, is already connected somewhere else.

What this means

The same name is already connected to a service, or a wildcard domain already covers it.

How to fix it

Remove the domain from the service that holds it, then add it here. If you do not recognize where it is connected, contact support.

Retry behavior

Retry after the domain has been removed from where it is connected.

How it appears in the response

ComputeSphere returns errors as RFC 7807 Problem Details. The type field is the docs URL for this page — switch on code in your client.
