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. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
thanhhuuviet.org
www.thanhhuuviet.org

I ran this command:
certbot --apache

It produced this output:

Hello @quangthang10d4,

You have an erroneous nameserver listed for your domain:

thanhhuuviet.org.       86400   IN      NS      ns.inmotionhosting.com.
thanhhuuviet.org.       86400   IN      NS      ns3.dreamhost.com.
thanhhuuviet.org.       86400   IN      NS      ns2.inmotionhosting.com.

Try logging into Dreamhost and removing the ns3.dreamhost.com nameserver from your domain's nameserver settings.
