Can the admins explain the different SSL choice in the admin panel and which one we should choose perhaps?

Should definitely choose the Get automatic certificate from ACME Provider option. If you choose Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL, thats entirely up to you. It was an added option in case one errors out for rate-limiting, you could then select the other and see if the other will succeed.

Here's the way the website is setup domain-wise.

The ACME SSL only let me select dartagnanmagic.com and www.dartagnanmagic.com as the recipient of the SSL? The website is at magicfromwherever,com and still says non-secure? What am I missing

The problem is in the implementation here. http://www.dartagnanmagic.com/ and magicfromwherever are under 2 entirely separate domains and can therefore not see each other when issuing SSL. Towards the top of the screen, you should see something that says Domain: yourdomain.com, click that and it will get you a drop down menu to allow you to select dartagnanmagic.x10host.com, once you navigate to there, it should allow you to get the other one with SSL.

Okay - saw what you meant. When I went there it said SSL not enabled but in the sidebar it said enable SSL --- so I did and then didthe ACME thing again for that domain -- which did, as you said, both the root x10 domain and the magicfromwherever.com domain. But when It tried to add the SSL I got this...Screenshot 2023-12-18 181316.png

Can you scroll down further in the error prompt?

It was the mail domain. I went back and unchecked both the root mail and magicfromwherever mail and now it saved like normal. Is that error normal?

It depends on what exactly the error was indicating, sometimes when a domain pointer is involved, it gets a bit weird.

It’s not really a necessity to enable it for those, but it would allow mail clients to use the domain as the server name (without complaining about a certificate error) instead of x12.x10hosting.com as an example.
