Please provide more details on the error you're getting.

If you're trying to do this using `certbot`, note that IDN support is not yet available in the latest release. You can use the development version, or use one of the other clients with IDN support. More details here:

The default plesk plugin ( which is what I assume you are using ) does not support IDN - there is a current open issue with that plugin [https://github.com/plesk/letsencrypt-plesk/issues/132](https://github.com/plesk/letsencrypt-plesk/issues/132)

You will need to wait until the authors of that plugin / client update it to support IDN, or use a different one that does.

Let’s Encrypt is the Certificate Authority which supports IDN. Many of the clients / plugins / scripts (whatever you want to call them) that utilise Let’s Encrypt also support IDN, it’s is the 3rd party plesk plugin you are using which currently does not. It may be worth commenting on the thread I linked above so the developer knows you are waiting for it.

What I was trying to explain was - there are other ways of getting a Let’s Encrypt SSL - other than via the 3rd party plesk plugin. If you are happy to wait for the third party script though, that’s fine 🙂

seriani, you mention your server is ngix, do you have access to it via shell for example using ssh? or you just manage it via Plesk?

You could use one of the alternative clients ( as discussed / linked above ) which do support IDN domains.
