If the error is above, the reason probably is that you need to enter another A record with your domain name provider’s settings.
A www 23.23.23.23. Auto

Hi @tccmailer

Is this your real domain name?

Obviously NOT the same domain name; thus not the real domain name.

@tccmailer, you aren’t giving us much information to work with, and some of the information you are giving us is wrong (I can speculate about what command you used, but it wasn’t sudo renew). From what you’re giving us, all we can say is that it’s a DNS problem of some sort. If you want help, you’re going to need to be a lot more forthcoming with the information you’re withholding.

i have already solved. the problem was that A record was missing for www.
so www was not reachable
