By default, Certbot uses Let's Encrypt's initial production server at
https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/. You can tell Certbot to use a
different CA by providing ``--server`` on the command line or in a
:ref:`configuration file <config-file>` with the URL of the server's
ACME directory. For example, if you would like to use Let's Encrypt's
initial ACMEv1 server, you would add ``--server
https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory`` to the command line.
new ACMEv2 server, you would add ``--server
https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory`` to the command line.
Certbot will automatically select which version of the ACME protocol to
use based on the contents served at the provided URL.

If you use ``--server`` to specify an ACME CA that implements a newer
version of the spec, you may be able to obtain a certificate for a
wildcard domain. Some CAs (such as Let's Encrypt) require that domain
validation for wildcard domains must be done through modifications to
DNS records which means that the dns-01_ challenge type must be used. To
see a list of Certbot plugins that support this challenge type and how
to use them, see plugins_.
