 * I tried to renew my free license and both HTTp and DNS methods failed to verify.
   I updated to the most recent SSLZen version and I waited overnight to try the
   verification again and nothing. The Host is GoDaddy. This has worked so well 
   fo me for so long. I was about to get the paid version but now I don’t know.

 * Closed, I has put the HTTP files in the root directory rather than in Public.
   I still don’t know why the DNS method didn’t work.
