AWS- Failed to Generate the Certificate

This error can be caused by any of the following:

1. Typographical error

What to do: Check for any wrong spellings, extra characters, etc.

Important:

Some providers require you to input the complete name (subdomain and domain)

videos.mywebsite.com

Others have the domain pre-filled and you only need to provide the subdomain.

videos

mywebsite.com

2. An unsafe domain

A domain may be tagged as unsafe if it contains deceptive content, including malicious ads

3. Additional information required by AWS

Usually, the first 2 DNS records are enough for most providers.

Some providers, however, require an additional DNS record to be created. In this case, you have to complete all three records.
