  It says that this certificate is not valid (host name mismatch)

  Here is the reply i got from my hosting company:
  Thank you for contacting Support.

  I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. You have pointed the nameservers of domain ‘heatherkordt.com’ to WordPress servers and its resolving properly. Regarding the issue with the 901 SSL certificate, I suggest that you please contact the WordPress support.

  I did not get a certificate error – however is you use https to visit a mapped domain name – you will get an error since WordPress.COM does not yet support https for domain mapping

  http://heatherkordt.com/ – Good
  https://heatherkordt.com/ – Bad – you should get an error

  It is a common error to type the name wrong
