What’s your domain? Apparently it isn’t registered, or doesn’t have any DNS records.
Or, if the request was for a subdomain, maybe that didn’t exist.
Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
