Unable to determine base domain for using names ['domain.com','com']

Help
1

My domain is:

svisionx.com

I ran this command:

sudo certbot certonly --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --dns-digitalocean --dns-digitalocean-propagation-seconds 60 --dns-digitalocean-credentials ~/do-creds.ini -d “*.svisionx.com” -d svisionx.com

It produced this output:

Encountered exception during recovery:

Hi @sqro2

is digitalocean your dns provider?

Your domain is parked ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=svisionx.com ):

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
svisionx.com A 162.255.119.80 yes 1 0
AAAA yes
www.svisionx.com C parkingpage.namecheap.com yes 1 0
A 198.54.117.210 yes
A 198.54.117.211 yes
A 198.54.117.212 yes
A 198.54.117.215 yes
A 198.54.117.216 yes
A 198.54.117.217 yes
A 198.54.117.218 yes

And

svisionx.com
	•  dns1.registrar-servers.com
	216.87.155.33	•
	• 
	2620:74:19::33	•
	•  dns2.registrar-servers.com
	216.87.152.33	•
	• 
	2001:502:cbe4::33	•

is your name server.

Doesn't look like a digitalocean name server.

thanks for the response. So I must configure the nameservers in namecheap to digitalocean nameservers before proceeding to create the widcard cert?

and I’ve tried this one - alumni.tezu.ac.in (which has digitalocean nameserver)

returns the same error -

Unable to determine base domain for alumni.tezu.ac.in using names: [‘alumni.tezu.ac.in’, ‘tezu.ac.in’, ‘ac.in’, ‘in’]
