So i'm trying to get a certificate with certbot. My website is available from the internet (www.alces.info) and everything work well except the https of course. when i try to get the certificat with the command below, i get an output mentioning a wrong IP address, whatismyip is currently telling me: 174.93.180.140 but thats not what certbot output. in the no-ip portal, the DNS hostname A is to the correct ip address (like what whatismyip says)
Also i must say i'm unsure if i'm doing something wrong, should i request a certificate only for the www, or a wildcard like i tried in the command listed below?
currently the domain alone only go to nginx default page, i only setup the www virtual host
My domain is: alces.info
I ran this command: certbot --nginx -d alces.info --agree-tos
It produced this output:

Challenge failed for domain www.alces.info
http-01 challenge for www.alces.info
Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: www.alces.info
Type: dns
Detail: DNS problem: looking up A for www.alces.info: DNSSEC: DNSKEY Missing: validation failure <www.alces.info. A IN>: No DNSKEY record from 204.16.254.53 for key alces.info. while building chain of trust; DNS problem: looking up AAAA for www.alces.info: DNSSEC: DNSKEY Missing: validation failure <www.alces.info. AAAA IN>: No DNSKEY record from 194.62.181.53 for key alces.info. while building chain of trust
Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that it is accessible from the internet.
Cleaning up challenges
Some challenges have failed.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.
