You can't just put any domain on there, you have to register a domain first.
The domain mentioned in the screenshot is not registered.
 
that is wierd because i do have a domain ready by transip or is that something else. how can i use the domain from my transIP to my directadmin?

It is not weird. Doublecheck... you have a typo in there.
With transip you have a 1 at the end of the domainname, in Directadmin you don't.
Domain name must be exactly the same as with Transip.

hello again sorry i was sick but it does have the 1 on directadmin it says here on de request failed prompt in my first post or am i looking at the wrong name in transip?
 
Are you sure that you are hosting your site on your own server ?
Is 37.97.170.101 your server IP ?
I assume you have to first correct things in your DNS , also your MX records point to transip , is that what you have did on purpose ?

No sorry, I have been looking wrongly.

It seems you managed to fix it now? I can reach website and https is working.
Maybe you had just registered your domain. After registration of a domain, it can take up to 24 hours before the domain is synched on the DNS worldwide. Letsencrypt is not in the Netherlands so it can take some time until it sees a new domain.

But it's working correctly now, right?

oh wierd because i still cannot make an ssl key and i did not changed anything, this domain is not a new domain it exited for 2 years but i need it on directadmin for testing could that be the problem why it does not want to execute this request?
 
Yes , and according DNS test your site is configured to use that IP from Transip, so you can never execute an SSL request because its not in your DNS

Then probably it's still on another server or DNS is not pointing correctly as @Active8 said?
Hope I'm not looking wrong again, I used this one.

and that is working with https on the ip mentioned by Active8.

You can put your website in DNS by either using your own nameservers at your server (you have to configure them) or otherwise, if you use the Transip DNs for example, set the correct ip's to your website there.

However, to get SSL installed correctly and automaticly update DNS on SSL requests for example, you might need to install LEGO on your server. You can find that in the docs.

yes btw that is the website of the domain
 
most of the time it will be propagated within few hours, be sure that your TTL is set to low as possible which you can change later to 1 hour (standard TTL)
