TIP

Choose your preferred domain registrar. For example, on namecheap.com.

# Configuring DNS

After the domain is registered, please seek for the DNS configuration for a domain. You must add an A-record.

When DNS is refreshed and domain assigned to the server, the tracker automatically request for SSL certificate.

What are the limits for Letsencrypt?

See https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/ page.

How to fix "Request limits exceeded"?

There can only be 5 unsuccessful tries to issue a certificate during an hour. You'll see "Request limits exceeded" error after 5 tries. You need to wait for an hour to try an issue certificate again.

How to fix "Certificate issue is blocked"?

Make sure DNS is configured, upgrade your server, then delete the domain and add it to the tracker again.

# Adding subdomains

Edit domain DNS, add one more A-record, but use the subdomain name instead of @. Then add the subdomain as a standard domain to Keitaro.

# Domains FAQ

Why domain is still unavailable?
  1. Check if A-record is present, whether it's assigned to the correct IP, and no more A-records there.
  2. If AAAA-record is present, make sure it's assigned to the correct IPv6 of the server.
How to check DNS?

Use dnschecker.org or via terminal.

Check for A-records:

dig A yourdomain.com +short
1

Check for AAAA-records:

dig AAAA yourdomain.com +short
