  Hello,
  I was creating google ads for my site and I was made aware by the google service rep that my site is not secure, as it is HTTP as opposed to HTTPS. Would you be able to change my site to secure?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi ryansciacchitano,

  We offer free HTTPS on all WordPress.com sites by default so it sounds like you aren’t referring to drryannd.wordpress.com. What is the address of the site you need help with?

  If it was created with self hosted WordPress.org software, please contact your host for more information about SSL certificates as this is something that will need to be set up on their end.

  I can check where the site is hosted if you are unsure.

  The address of the site I need help with is topmedicine.ca. If you wouldn’t mind checking that would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi there,

  Your site at topmedicine.ca is not hosted on WordPress.com. That domain is currently pointed to Google Domains’s hosting service. SSL needs to be configured at your hosting provider, so you’ll need to contact them for help.

  To be clear, you’re using the WordPress software on your site, but the WordPress software and the WordPress.com hosting service are not the same thing.

  Okay that makes sense. Thank you for your help!
