Remove stale wildcard cert for novacq.ca — external DNS at Namecheap, renewal failing with NXDOMAIN

Team: the DREAM TEAM (edmontonaichatbots)

DNS for novacq.ca is managed externally at Namecheap, not Netlify DNS. A wildcard certificate (*.novacq.ca) was provisioned when the domain previously used Netlify DNS, so the DNS-01 challenge can never succeed — Netlify cannot write the TXT record at Namecheap.

Renewal fails on every attempt with:

SniCertificate::CertificateValidationError: Unable to verify challenge for *.novacq.ca: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.novacq.ca - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

Current certificate expires Sep 01, 2026.

I do not need a wildcard. Please delete the stale wildcard certificate, flush the SSL provisioning state, and reissue standard Let’s Encrypt certificates for these projects:

  • novacq.ca
  • portal.novacq.ca
  • partners.novacq.ca
  • welcome.novacq.ca
  • surface.novacq.ca
  • start.novacq.ca

All A/CNAME records are correctly configured and verified at Namecheap. DNSSEC is not enabled.
