  To make your not-secure site secure, you need to contact your hosting. All sites on the wordpress.com platform are secure, so you caould transfer your excisting site to wordpress.com. Depending on what you need, you would need to upgrade to a paid plan, https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Thanks @staartmees. IF i transferred to a WordPress site that is secure do i also need to purchase a SSL certificate?
  Thanks
