IMPORTANT NOTES:

Hi @eslambakry

if you use webroot and it doesn't work, your webroot is wrong.

You have redirects http -> https ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=ridesnparts.com ):

Have http and https the same webroot? If not, that can't work.

Create a file in

yourWebRootParameter/.well-known/acme-challenge

(file name 1234), then try to load that file via
