 * I’m getting the “cannot be verified” error for both the file upload and the DNS
   update. This is a sub-domain of another domain that I have hosted within the 
   same cPanel account.

 * Hi [@dmeyerlwam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dmeyerlwam/)
 * If url access to **/.well-known/acme-challenge/** folder is restricted on your
   hosting, we recommend completing DNS verification instead. But please note that
   you might need to wait few minutes or hours for DNS to propagate before proceeding
   with verification button.
 * If you have correctly added the DNS record, please try clicking on verify button
   now & see if it succeeds.
