Change hostname-in-use error to be more usable

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Context:

  • A user had to recover a domain name.
  • They stared at the message for a minute or so, until they figured out that typing help was the right thing to do.
  • The current message is:

This hostname is already in use. Type help if you need to recover access, or pick a new one.

Proposal:

Use this as the new hostname-in-use error message:

This hostname is already in use. If you're the person who registered it, type "help" to start the domain recovery process. Or you can type a new hostname to use.
