It looks like you're trying to obtain a certificate for a subdomain, but that domain does not exists in your DNS

@bobbybouwmann So, what should I do? Do I have to add my domain in DNS? How to? I need a detailed answer. Because I just first take care of the problem on the server. Before I just write code only

Well you have two options here. You either add a subdomain record to your DNS or you add a catch-all record to your DNS
Type: CNAME
Hostname: *.example.com
Value: example.com.
If you have no clue about this stuff you should contact your hosting provider or hire an expert!

@bobbybouwmann I want to try it first. My server using digital ocean, forge laravel and gitlab. Where can I add sub domains in my dns? Is it in digital ocean? Or using ssh via putty?
Level 2
Or just put subdomain without 'www' into LestEncrypt input 'Domains'
Level 88
You can do it in digital ocean if you have your DNS there, or any other place where you have your domain registered!

@bobbybouwmann Now it works. I add certificate without "www". Seems my sub domain with "www" not yet registered in dns. I want to add it. But I do not have access
