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.
Related to this, you should almost always generate the certificate on the web server, not on your personal computer. If you’re not the administrator of the web server, the administrator of the web server should do it for you (or give you access to a control panel interface that lets you do it in a control panel).
I’m concerned from other discussions that GoDaddy may be resisting helping customers get Let’s Encrypt certificates because it still wants to get the customers to pay for a certificate that it resells.
You can certainly always generate the certificate on a machine that’s not the web server; the easiest way is in your web browser using a service like https://zerossl.com/. But this isn’t the intended way to use Let’s Encrypt because Let’s Encrypt certificate renewals are intended to be automatic. If you generate the certificate yourself this way, you’ll have to repeat the process every 2-3 months, including getting the hosting provider to apply the new certificate each time.
