Hi
Already second week as I have been trying to sign the certificate for my virtual server in domain ovh.net.

I run this command:
And I get this stable result:

root@vps520596:~/acme.sh# FQDN=vps520596.ovh.net
root@vps520596:~/acme.sh# ~/.acme.sh/acme.sh --issue --standalone -d $FQDN
[Tue Apr 24 17:37:30 CEST 2018] Standalone mode.
[Tue Apr 24 17:37:30 CEST 2018] Single domain=‘vps520596.ovh.net’

[Tue Apr 24 17:37:30 CEST 2018] Getting new-authz for domain=‘vps520596.ovh.net’
[Tue Apr 24 17:37:31 CEST 2018] The new-authz request is ok.
[Tue Apr 24 17:37:31 CEST 2018] vps520596.ovh.net is already verified, skip http-01.
[Tue Apr 24 17:37:31 CEST 2018] Verify finished, start to sign.
[Tue Apr 24 17:37:32 CEST 2018] Sign failed: “detail”:“Error creating new cert :: too many certificates already issued for: ovh.net: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/”
[Tue Apr 24 17:37:32 CEST 2018] Please add ‘–debug’ or ‘–log’ to check more details.

If it necessary I can provide full debug log.

Please clarify how to fix this problem and at last sign the certificate?!

ovh.net is not in the Public suffix list ( View the Public Suffix List ) so you will hit these rates-limits.

To fix it you must convince OVH to submit .ovh.net to the Public suffix list.

See Rate Limits - Let's Encrypt for more details.

The main limit is Certificates per Registered Domain, (20 per week). A registered domain is, generally speaking, the part of the domain you purchased from your domain name registrar. For instance, in the name www.example.com, the registered domain is example.com. In new.blog.example.co.uk, the registered domain is example.co.uk. We use the Public Suffix List to calculate the registered domain.

Sadly you're not the first with this problem: Search results for 'ovh public suffix list' - Let's Encrypt Community Support
