Hello everyone,  
I use a free hosting in Byethost, it allows me to add key, csr, and certificate manually in its cpanel. I would like to use Let’s Encrypt to get its free certificate because I can’t afford paid ssl and hosting for right now.

I tried to use three of domain verification types in [sslforfree.com](http://sslforfree.com) already, none of them works.

My domain is:  
[riksa.or.id](http://riksa.or.id) (this is a community service web that I am working on)

I use a manual verification by uploading a file at .well-known/acme-challenge, it was actually works, but when I want to get the certificate, it produced this output:

Domain “[relawan.riksa.or.id](http://relawan.riksa.or.id)” challenge3 failed. Response from “[https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/challenge/qJTcsQwjVvg1wGWeuLrcqzRE5g74BPnpHU7RMyoU2KA/2730065795](https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/challenge/qJTcsQwjVvg1wGWeuLrcqzRE5g74BPnpHU7RMyoU2KA/2730065795)” was: { “type”: “http-01”, “status”: “invalid”, “error”: { “type”: “urn:acme:error:unauthorized”, “detail”: “Invalid response from [http://relawan.riksa.or.id/.well-known/acme-challenge/omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7\_RXUGPtupr3Yu70:](http://relawan.riksa.or.id/.well-known/acme-challenge/omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7_RXUGPtupr3Yu70:) “\u003chtml\u003e\u003cbody\u003e\u003cscript type=“text/javascript” src=”/aes.js” \u003e\u003c/script\u003e\u003cscript\u003efunction toNumbers(d){var e=[];d.replace(/(…)/g,func"", “status”: 403 }, “uri”: “[https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/challenge/qJTcsQwjVvg1wGWeuLrcqzRE5g74BPnpHU7RMyoU2KA/2730065795](https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/challenge/qJTcsQwjVvg1wGWeuLrcqzRE5g74BPnpHU7RMyoU2KA/2730065795)”, “token”: “omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7\_RXUGPtupr3Yu70”, “keyAuthorization”: “omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7\_RXUGPtupr3Yu70.DOUh9huHS0NML4EVWLumDE\_XTScco8aRfqYU\_zj9TeM”, “validationRecord”: [{ “url”: “[http://relawan.riksa.or.id/.well-known/acme-challenge/omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7\_RXUGPtupr3Yu70](http://relawan.riksa.or.id/.well-known/acme-challenge/omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7_RXUGPtupr3Yu70)”, “hostname”: “[relawan.riksa.or.id](http://relawan.riksa.or.id)”, “port”: “80”, “addressesResolved”: [“185.27.134.150”], “addressUsed”: “185.27.134.150”, “addressesTried”: [] } ] }

Does anyone can help me on this? Thank you.

The website has some sort of “security” configuration. Your web browser gets the real file, the Let’s Encrypt validator gets a “checking your browser” HTML page, and one try I made got a 403 Forbidden error.

For example, here’s someone else with a similar issue:

I’m not sure what, if anything, you can do. Adjust the web server configuration, if possible, or ask your hosting company. 😓
