 * HTTP verification not possible on your site as your hosting server blocks bot
   access. Please proceed with DNS verification.
 * And when I try DNS:
 * Not let me put the name _acme-challenge.www
    Name not is valid.
 * Any idea to fix the block bot, before I register the certificate without problem.
 * Thanks

 * I put the name _acme-challenge.www.myweb.com
    and _acme-challenge.myweb.com
 * But no work, so I change to another plugin and work perfect and no need to upload
   any file… the plugin make it
 * I like your plugin from the beginning and help to translate to spanish but now
   no work good.
 * I recommend also to change in Name DNS, _acme-challenge.**[yourweb.com]** with
   other color font or maybe you can write the url website directly.
 * Something is wrong with the file verification.

 * Hi,
 * We will need to know your site URL in order to check why the bot access to HTTP
   verification file failed.
 * Regarding DNS verification, we don’t write the website url directly because some
   hosting platforms require record name to be simply **_acme-challenge** instead
   of **_acme-challenge.yourweb.com**

 * You can put the 2 option or one help.
    If no run the first option, write the 
   second…
 * No worked the DNS or the auto install.
 * How I can contact in private?
    Maybe you can found the problem, but now I disabled
   the plugin.
