This is my first attempt to host my own website. My domain registrar provides DNS and add my server IP to their A record and CName record. I have never try to install any SSL certificate before, so it’s probably reasonable to assume I might have missed something along the way.
I have 2 questions:
Q1 : What plugin do I choose? I am installing python-certbot-apache, also try on webroot, no luck.
Q2 : The installation has run into some troubles. I copied the errors from screen.
My domain is: www.vid-sandbox.com
I ran this command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-apache
It produced this output:
At the last command ($ sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-apache), I get errors as below:

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: My domain registrar is HostGator. I host my own website on my lab 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): I don’t think I’ve installed certbot successfully. Command is not recognized.
Thank you very much for you help!
