hostname_is_public_suffix

That hostname is a public suffix, so nobody can prove control of it.

HTTP 422Fix is on your sideDo not retry unchanged

What it means

The hostname is on the Public Suffix List, like co.uk or github.io: many unrelated people register names under it, so no single owner can prove control.

Why it happens

  • The customer typed only the suffix of their domain.
  • A shared hosting suffix was used (*.github.io, *.vercel.app) where each customer owns only their own label.

What to do

  1. Add a hostname under the suffix, like careers.example.co.uk.
  2. For shared hosting suffixes, add the customer's full name (acme.github.io).
