Whenever I try to Install the SSL Certificate on my domain I am getting the same issue again & again.

example.com was skipped due to unreachable http://example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/ file.
www.haexample.com was skipped due to unreachable http://www.example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/ file.
No domains pointing to this server to generate the certificate for.

I already checked the Nameserver and Ping the domain in terminal and the IP is working fine, but I am unable to install the SSL certificate.

Seems you have DNS errors and the domain can't be reached. However you didn't mention your real domain so we can't check.

Ping domain in terminal is of no use. The domain needs to be able to be visited via the web browser also from outside.

Yep, thank you. Lets forget about LE for a moment, because that won't work until your domain is reachable over the world.

I see you're using Cloudflare DNS. The 1st nameserver is pointing to 3 different ip's as nameserver. But that might be ok, I don't work with cloudflare so I don't know.

However, not a single A record seems pointed to your domain name and the www for example.
Your domain can't be resolved, which is also causing the LE issue.

Since your domain can't be found via nslookup but can be found via intoDNS, I have the impression that the connection between the cloudflare domain servers and your server is not correctly done. Which is why the nameservers can't find any A records for your domain.

However as said, I don't use cloudflare so I don't know what's causing the issue here, but the domain must be reachable before starting with LE.
Maybe you need to copy some records to Cloudflare, I'm not sure.

Maybe @jamgames2 or @Zhenyapan can explain what is wrong here with your Cloudflare setup.
 
havenconstrucciones.com - hidden at cloudflare, maybe there is reason.
 
I stop using non-wildcard SSL for along time, Since I use wildcard SSL with cloudflare API. it don't have problem at all.
because sometime Let's Encrypt SSL ( non-wildcard ) will not work but it will retry second - third times it just work like no problem.
 
Also you should check the Loop Redirect.
If you set redirect http -> https at server side. you must disable future "Always Use Https" or relative. at Cloudflare side.
 
@jamgames2 Yep indeed, but before this all even has any use, the domain must be visible/accessible, which it still isn't.
It doesn't even respond to an nslookup command. Without that, one can't even say if anything is going wrong with LE.
