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](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:  
1.thr.ir.hosthorizon.xyz  
I ran this command:  
sudo certbot certonly --standalone  
It produced this output:  
Obtaining a new certificate  
Performing the following challenges:  
http-01 challenge for 1.thr.ir.hosthorizon.xyz  
Waiting for verification...  
Challenge failed for domain 1.thr.ir.hosthorizon.xyz  
http-01 challenge for 1.thr.ir.hosthorizon.xyz  
Cleaning up challenges  
Some challenges have failed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- The following errors were reported by the server:

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):  
no  
The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you're using Certbot): certbot 1.9.0

Looks like it's a DNSSEC issue:

- [https://letsdebug.net/1.thr.ir.hosthorizon.xyz/339357](https://letsdebug.net/1.thr.ir.hosthorizon.xyz/339357)
- [https://unboundtest.com/m/CAA/1.thr.ir.hosthorizon.xyz/V6DDN6YK](https://unboundtest.com/m/CAA/1.thr.ir.hosthorizon.xyz/V6DDN6YK)

You could try creating a CAA record in your DNS to avoid your nameservers sending the bogus response ... but I think it's probably best to ask Arvan about it, so that they can fix your zone for you.
