Club 3619 - custom domain HTTPS certificate not created, domain expiring soon

4 months 3 weeks ago

Our custom domain name SpeakersOttawa.ca was about to expire on March 28, so it's no surprise to have just seen the Admin Console error message from Feb 21 that I will paste below.

The club has now renewed the domain for five years as evidenced here.   Please re-run the SSL certificate generation procedure now that it will find a proper domain expiry date.speakersottawa.caDomain name statusRegisteredCreation date2021-03-28T18:05:31ZExpiry date2031-03-28T18:05:31ZUpdated date2026-02-23T21:19:09Z
[2026-02-21 08:56:54 GMT, FreeToastHost System Warning]  *** IMPORTANT! ***

NOTE:  The FreeToastHost server was unable to create / renew a HTTPS certificate for your custom domain: 
     www.speakersottawa.ca
    
*** 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.)

Your certificate is good until Wed, 18 Mar 2026 16:45:37 GMT
it enters the renewal loop about 45 days before it expires. If is is dtill not renewed by March 17 let us know.
Thank you,

I've now twice seen the message saying that a new certificate could not be generated.  Could you check please, club 3619.  Custom domain expiry date via  who.is/whois/www.speakersottawa.ca is March 28, 2031.

The FreeToastHost system warning messages in the admin console are dated [2026-07-18 08:11:36 GMT, FreeToastHost System Warning]  and [2026-07-11 08:11:34 GMT, FreeToastHost System Warning] .

Cert Expiration Date/Time: Fri Aug 7 07:05:42 2026 UTC
Two more auto-renew cycles before expiration. (July 25th & Aug 1st)

I tried to run the manual renewal but for some reason the manual renewal cycle seldom works for me. Brian will have to run it if one of the above auto-renewal dates doesn't complete the update in time.

FYI, the cert can be checked in a browser. Images below show how to do it in Chrome.
