  Hi there,

  From what I can see the site mimisway.net is not a site ‘hosted’ on WordPress.com, but I do see that it is using the Jetpack plugin, which adds WordPress.com features (like commenting tools) to your Hostgator site.

  Because your site is not on WordPress.com, we don’t have a direct connection to it and cannot see all your settings. Normally you will get a more detailed response by asking here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack/

  In this case however, I can confirm that a WordPress account is NOT required to leave a comment on a Jetpack site, as mentioned here: https://jetpack.com/support/comments/

  A visitor can leave a comment as a guest, or they can choose to use their WordPress.com, Twitter, Google, or Facebook account

  If you are having trouble with comments on your site you may want to refer to the troubleshooting guide here: https://jetpack.com/support/comments/troubleshooting-jetpack-comments/

  If you continue to have issues, as I mentioned you can get the best help here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack/

  Hope this points you in the right direction!
