# "That bucket name is already taken"

Bucket names are shared by everyone on a provider, so someone else already has this one. Add something of your own, like your site name, and try again: `my-site-media` rather than `media`. Your provider returned `BucketAlreadyExists`. It isn't a problem with your keys or your account.

See [bucket name rules](/docs/troubleshooting/bucket-name-rules) for what's allowed.
