Question for unable to get SSL

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. crt.sh | 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: cloudtechjobbackend.com

I ran this command:sudo —nginx —domains cloudtechjobbackend.com

It produced this output: Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: cloudtechjobbackend.com
Type: dns
Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for cloudtechjobbackend.com - check that a DNS record exists for this domain; DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up AAAA for cloudtechjobbackend.com - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that it is accessible from the internet.

My web server is (include version):

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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

Hi @Niranjan1143, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

The error is very clear:

The corrective instruction included are also quite clear and specific.
Have you tried any of them?
[if so, please add your steps and findings]

Note: LE can't issue certificates for names that don't exist in the global/public DNS system. That domain name doesn't seem to have been registered.
