I'm not sure what free ones you are referring to. @yourdomain isn't free.
Alias is free.

But you don't really need Google domains for that.

Correct. But other providers charge for it. Google doesn't.

+1

1. You'll need to unlock it first.
2. Can only transfer after 60(?) days of purchase

You're right. I got confused.
Alias = forwarding.
Alias ≠ Email inbox for incoming and outgoing.
I stand corrected.

That's how domains are transferred (with an EPP transfer code). Someone maybe trying to steal it from you

Actually, just read it again, looks like a CSR which is part of the process of creating a valid SSL certificate (for https)

So do I ignore it, or agree?

Are you a Secure Certificate customer? Did you recently purchase or try to set up a SSL certificate?

It was legit.

Not sure why they needed to reverify it.

So I'm trying to install a ssl certificate on my website. I'm using sslforfree.com I want to do the manual verification so it tells me to make a folder called .well-known and in that a folder called acme-challenge .

I did that through the file manager on my cpanel. I think I put them in the main directory. Then I uploaded the two verification files there.

Now when I click on the links to check if the file is uploaded I get a 404 page not found error.

I tried going to mysite.com/.well-known and it shows a directory of some sort. But if I go to mysite.com/.well-known/acme-challenge it gives me a 404

Anybody know what the problem could be?

Are you sure you have to use the "." Before the name? Have you tried without it?

What happens when you go to the folder on the browser? Are you able to see the files you uploaded?

You're referring to the .  of .well-known? I haven't tried that

When I go to my site.com/.well-known I don't see acme-challenge as a folder. I see a link to parent directory and another folder called pki-validation

And when you check what's inside the well-known folder in the cPanel you do see the files or you see the pki-validation folder?
