SSL on myownfreehost.net

[zek]

Hi I am trying to set up SSL for my reseller account, but when I try to get the cert via my local machine as on this page: https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/ the certbot asks me to

Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name:

_acme-challenge.nimno.eu.

with the following value:

[text string]

I can only add CNAME record in the panel, so can soeone tell me how to achieve this? I searched this forum but the replies are either for other hosting or tell us to use a CNAME record, maybe thngs have changed?

Thanks

You can generate ssl from InfinityFree, It would be more easier than generating in local machine

You need another domain, e.g. on Cloudflare. Create a record:

example.yourdomain.com TXT xxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxx

Then, in cPanel:

_acme-challenge.resellerdomain.com CNAME example.yourdomain.com

Thanks for these helpful replies, I am a bit if a noob with this but it looks like I will be able to get it done now.
