I'm trying to verify my website I bought the domain through hover.com but I can't find any information on how to make it happen

It "works".
A "coming soon / landing page" with blah blah "Check back later."

It fails for HTTPS though (not my FW):

openssl s_client -connect 64.98.145.30:443
140191993213376:error:0200206F:system library:connect:Connection refused:../crypto/bio/b_sock2.c:110:

openssl s_client -connect 174.129.25.170:443

One with "Connection refused"
One with "Connection timed out"

The cert doesn't (yet) cover the apex:

A little DNS modification and another run at certbot can get that going.
OR can it?
Won't be able to CNAME the apex [that'll wreak havoc upon the interwebs - LOL].
