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.

I see your server is LiteSpeed and your DNS is with namecheap.

Assuming you don't want to just use Linux (and assuming you don't want to use IIS on Windows), here are some alternative Windows clients you could try:
