This is my first time trying create a web server.

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: www.allincomputers.com
Type: dns
Detail: no valid A records found for www.allincomputers.com; no valid AAAA records found for www.allincomputers.com

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary Apache configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains point to this Apache server and that it is accessible from the internet.

My domain is: www.allincomputers.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache

It produced this output: Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: www.allincomputers.com
Type: dns
Detail: no valid A records found for www.allincomputers.com; no valid AAAA records found for www.allincomputers.com

My web server is (include version): apache latest version

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): ubuntu server 22.04.3 LTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: domain parked at GoDaddy.com
Hosting in my ubuntu server ip 192.168.4.25

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):yes

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

Did you perhaps also point your domain name to that specific private IP address previously? Because currently I'm seeing the IP address 75.11.217.150, but that shouldn't have caused this specific error. Did you change it recently by any chance?
