  I think I know what to do,
  but would like to confirm before I break something.

  The Problem:
  I have 2 domains, both at Hover:
  alienheartbeat.com – which forwards to alien-heartbeat.com
  alien-heartbeat.com – which uses wordpress name servers and so points to my wordpress blog

  So
  http://alienheartbeat.com forwards to https://alien-heartbeat.com – good!
  https://alienheartbeat.com used to forward to https://alien-heartbeat.com
  for many years, but now, with the tightening security of browsers, no longer does.
  It just eventually gives a “The connection has timed out”.

  So I’m guessing the solution is to:
  . unforward alienheartbeat.com
  . “connect” alienheartbeat.com to my blog using the procedure at:
  wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  Is this correct?
  Can I have two domains pointing to the same blog?
  (I think so, but wanted to check.
  A forum search on Can I connect 2 domains to my wordpress site?
  answered lots of other questions but not this.

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

  Hi @alienheartbeat,

  Yes! You can have two domains point to the same WordPress.com site.

  I understand that you’d like to connect your domain, alienheartbeat.com, to your existing WordPress site, which is currently tied to alien-heartbeat.com. You can follow the steps in this guide to connect your second domain: Connect an Existing Domain

  Since alien-heartbeat.com is already set as your primary domain, you can skip Step 4 in the instructions.

  Also, because you’re on a paid plan, you can reach out to our support team directly through your dashboard for more personalized help: https://wordpress.com/help/contact/

  Excellent work! I can confirm that the domain alienheartbeat.com has been successfully added to the website for alien-heartbeat.com, and the forwarding is now functioning as expected.
