# ⚠️500 Server Error when trying to add a subdomain

---
On a rare occasion, the error code `500` may be thrown if the name of your subdomain was already used previously by a now terminated server. 

There are 2 ways to fix this,

Number 1 being to use a different subdomain,

Number 2 is to open a support ticket, and ask for the domain to be deleted in the records because of the 500 server error.
