Every time I log into the Admin portal of my club's website, I am getting the following message in the notification window:

2025-05-03 08:38:11 GMT, FreeToastHost System Warning] *** IMPORTANT! ***

NOTE: The FreeToastHost server was unable to create / renew a HTTPS certificate for your custom domain:
   www.elitetoastmastersphx.org

*** This means that you may not be able to access your website using https:// with your custom domain
name after any existing certificates expire.

Possible causes may include:
   a. Your custom domain's DNS records are set up incorrectly on your registrar's website.
   b. You are using domain forwarding--it is *not* supported.
   c. Your custom domain has expired. (If so, you must address this with your registrar.)
   d. The custom domain listed in the admin console is no longer being used.
   e. The FTH server was temporarily unable to connect with the free LetsEncrypt! service to create the certificate.
           (If so, this could be resolved automatically in a week.)

*** Note that the system may remove your custom domain from the database to prevent further invalid
attempts at cert renewals.

You may also access your website via 1717077.toastmastersclubs.org

You can check your custom domain's expiration date using:
   who.is/whois/www.elitetoastmastersphx.org

You can view your current DNS records using:
   www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=www.e...ns=auth&nameservers=

You can try to troubleshoot your DNS records using:
   www.dnsstuff.com/tools#dnsReport|type=do...etoastmastersphx.org

Please contact the FreeToastHost support team at support.toastmastersclubs.org for more details and assistance.

- FreeToastHost Support (This is a system generated message.)

I have renewed the domain for 2 years.

Tip; it's inconspicuous but if you see the following line in the admin messages above (more recent than) the cert renewal warning, the cert has already been renewed.

The auto-renewal process runs every Saturday and makes it's first run about 4 weeks ahead of actual cert expiration.
