My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Hostinger

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

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

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

I have my vps which I wanted to connect my subdomain to, but when I connect it connects but says Not Secure, So this is the issue I am facing right now.

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

Let's have a look at the entire log file; There may be some hint of what actually went wrong before:

And since we are talking about using Apache, let's also have a look at the output of:
sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS

@rg305 Thanks, I was able to generate the certificate successfully, as I was not giving the ipv6 in my hosting account in the AAAA record pointing to my subdomain.
