DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up AAAA

My domain is: just-pthai-it.info

I ran this command: cert --nginx - v

It produced this output:

Requesting a certificate for just-pthai-it.info and www.just-pthai-it.info

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
  Domain: just-pthai-it.info
  Type:   dns
  Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for just-pthai-it.info - check that a DNS record exists for this domain; no valid AAAA records found for just-pthai-it.info

  Domain: www.just-pthai-it.info
  Type:   dns
  Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for www.just-pthai-it.info - check that a DNS record exists for this domain; DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up AAAA for www.just-pthai-it.info - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

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.
