Problem Creating ssl cert

[igross]

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), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:aproposhome.com

I ran this command:

It produced this output:
Could not issue an SSL/TLS certificate for aproposhome.com
Details
Could not issue a Let’s Encrypt SSL/TLS certificate for aproposhome.com . Authorization for the domain failed.
Details
Invalid response from https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz-v3/4585701209.
Details:
Type: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:dns
Status: 400
Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.aproposhome.com - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

My web server is (include version):Ubuntu 18.04 x64

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:Vultr

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

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

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):

[rg305]

I ran this command:

Based on this:

I would say, you clicked somewhere on the control panel to obtain a cert.

The failure makes sense; there is no TXT record there as expected:

nslookup -q=txt _acme-challenge.aproposhome.com
... can't find _acme-challenge.aproposhome.com: Non-existent domain

Has this type of request ever worked on this system?

What version of Plesk is it?

Who manages the host system?
