## what happened

- the hostname is owned by another public url, team, or membership
- an existing public url has a different identity or is suspended, deleted, or in use

## if you run tnl

- check `tnl team current` and `tnl url list`
- choose a hostname the selected team owns or resolve the existing public url's lifecycle conflict
