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](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.

My domain is: [http://amitkhurana.ca/](http://amitkhurana.ca/)

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Godaddy

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): Don’t know

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

Hi,

We’ll need more information to help you.  
Otherwise, you could follow the get started guide to start on your own.

Here’s some information I currently have:  
Your hosting provider is (roger network)  
Your operating system is Windows server  
Your web server is Windows IIS.

Please choose a client in Windows / IIS section of the link below and read their documents (it should be easy to read and execute given that you have sufficient permission)

> Let’s Encrypt uses the ACME protocol to verify that you control a given domain name and to issue you a certificate. To get a Let’s Encrypt certificate, you’ll need to choose a piece of ACME...

Thank you
