So I tried to run the following
sudo certbot certonly --nginx --dry-run -d subdomain.domain.com -d www.subdomain.domain.comThat gave me a DNS problem, however, it worked when running
sudo certbot certonly --nginx --dry-run -d subdomain.domain.comAm I missing something in my DNS records?
I have sucessfully run
sudo certbot certonly --nginx --dry-run -d domain.com -d www.domain.comDo I need to make a specific DNS record for the ´´www´´ part if I use subdomains?
EditResult of running ´´dig subdomain.domain.com´´

Adding proper answer from the question:
Create an type A entry with the host "www.subdomain" and you're good
I'd add to wait anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour for the record to take effect and for certbot to be able to see it, from my experience.
In my case I didn't add www to my domainadd A record pointing to server
www.mydomain.comAl together you need only two A records in domain pointing to your server ip with and without www
mydomain.comHope this helps !!!
If you are using subdomain than for the subdomain you don't need www.
The modified command is as follows:sudo certbot certonly --nginx --dry-run -d subdomain.com -d www.subdomain.com
I forget to add www A record in my godaddy DNS settingsYou May try this one hope for best...
