  I bought a domain on godaddy.com a couple days ago, and I’m using it as my main url for my website.
  When I go to my website it shows an alert saying the connection is not private:

  This server could not prove that it is MYWEBSITEURL; its security certificate is from *.wordpress.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

  How can I solve this issue ?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there,

  Thanks for connecting your custom domain! One thing to be aware of is that we are not able to start the process of configuring SSL until we have confirmed the domain is connected correctly. Because of this there can be a lag of a few hours where your domain wills how your WordPress.com site, but will not have SSL added.

  This is only temporary though, and on my end I can confirm SSL is configured, and when I visit your site I see a secure https address, and lock icon (shown if you use Chrome) as expected.

  I bought a domain on godaddy.com a couple days ago, and I’m using it as my main url for my website.

  Sorry we did not know this sooner, your Personal Plan (annual billing) includes a free domain for the first year, so you did not actually need to pay GoDaddy for that.

  If you wish though, you can transfer your domain to your WordPress.com account for free under your plan and once the transfer is complete we add one free year of registration for added savings.

  Have you already purchased a domain name with another provider (also known as a registrar), such as GoDaddy or 1&1? If you want to use this domain with your WordPress.com site, you can transfer the domain and manage both your site and domain registration within your WordPress.com account. You can even have your domain registered through WordPress.com and host it elsewhere! Before You Get Star

  Since your domain (currently at GoDaddy) is already connected via our domain name server settings, the transfer will be totally seamless, and will lead to now downtime for your site.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
