New Feature: Free SSL for own domains!

Superb, but I can’t get a tune out of it, I have copied and pasted, yet I am getting told that the destination is wrong…

They are just copied and pasted, so how can they be wrong…

so thought I would let you know…

You need to remove the double theracingoutsider.ml from the records’ source name, so there would remain only _acme-challenge and _acme-challenge.www on the records’ source name, but first delete the other ones!

I can clearly see on your screenshot that the CNAME record name in the control panel is different than what is shown in the control panel.

The knowledge base article also clearly says to only copy paste the bold text. The domain name in the client area is shown as reference, but that should be entered through the Domain dropdown instead in the control panel.

Maybe the SSL Certificates menu can be changed to clarify this.

my cname records are also not woking - “The required CNAME record could not be found.”
I’ve tried 3rd party dns lookup and all of them not showing any cname records at all…

I was about to say you just answered your own question, but then I noticed something:

You have a website on a free subdomain of rf.gd. But the SSL certificate you requested to set up is for gd.rf instead.

So the required CNAME records cannot be found, because the domain it’s looking at doesn’t exist. And we blocked free subdomains in our SSL tool, due to problems with rate limits at Let’s Encrypt.

do you need to purchase a domain for this?

Due to rate limits at Let’s Encrypt, we cannot offer free SSL certificates for free subdomains at this time. So you will need to get your own domain name to make use of this SSL. If you don’t have a domain name yet, you will need to get one yourself, and you can do that by purchasing one at almost any domain registrar.

I have managed to get one to work now, but not the other…

This is the error I get when I try to enter the second one…

When I click add on the cname section it adds the domain name automatically, I don’t seem to be able to remove it… Thanks for the help, much appreciated…

I manually changed the DNS resolvers on the client area server, but it appears the change was reverted. I updated the settings again and they should stay correct now. Can you please try again if the domain is accepted now?

@Oreanic_IT I was just able to install your certificate without any problem.

What would you like me to do exactly?? Then I will try it, as yes I could be undoing things are doing, so i will just leave it until I know what I am doing… Thanks for your help…

I’m sorry, I should have been more clear.

Can you please try to recheck the CNAME records from the client area? The underlying issues on the client area server was fixed, so the CNAME records should be detected properly now.

Is this method really working? According to admin it is not!
