Hi Tomer,

you have to use your own domain (mydomain.xxx) because there only can be few certificates of one domain (ovh.net).

I think its 100.

But if there are more than 100 Customers at OVH. so you better use your own domain for letsencrypt.

Hi tomer628,

even that LaForge112, is completely correct with his statements, I would like to point out some more informations:

There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new cert :: Too many certificates already issued for: ovh.net

As mentioned before, there are limits for Let's Encrypt certificates and domains like "ovh.net" ( and the corresponding subdomains for each OVH - customer ) are defined as a "technical name", which makes it impossible to whitelist these domains at "publicsuffix.org" to bypass the rate-limits.


The solution here is to change your hostname on your server and reverse the ( rented from OVH ) IP(s) to a FQDN ( Fully Qualified Domain Name ). Pls. contact your provider, if you are unsure about the "How-to-do-that" and possible OVH - documentations ( help.ovh.com ) are unsufficient for you, to achieve your goal.
