My domain is:edusec.org

I ran this command:  
certbot --server [https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory](https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory) -d \*.edusec.org -d [edusec.org](http://edusec.org) --manual --preferred-challenges dns-01 certonly

I am first time trying to renew the certificate. certbot renew command is not working so i try to use certbot --server [https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory](https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory) -d \*.edusec.org -d [edusec.org](http://edusec.org) --manual --preferred-challenges dns-01 certonly but still not working.

My web server is (include version):  
Apache/2.4.7  
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):  
Ubuntu 14.04  
My hosting provider is: Godaddy

Please help me how to resolve this issue.

If you want automatic renewing wildcard certificates for a GoDaddy-hosted domain, then perhaps give acme.sh a shot.

It provides a simple way to do what you want: [https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/tree/master/dnsapi#4-use-godaddycom-domain-api-to-automatically-issue-cert](https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/tree/master/dnsapi#4-use-godaddycom-domain-api-to-automatically-issue-cert)

If not, please show what the error was for the certonly command - “not working” is a bit too vague.
