  Hi there,
  I just set up my website and it doesn’t have the URL I choose but instead it starts with box2197.temp.domains.. how do I get my real URL? Also it doesn’t have a Security Certificate, how can I get it to https?
  Thank you so much in advance!

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  I see you posted this same question twice, so I’ll answer this one and delete the other one.

  Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com but instead a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted elsewhere.

  We cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. But, I can get you pointed in the right direction.

  The boxXXXX.temp.domains URL is a Bluehost temporary domain. You would need to contact their support to get your domain to work with your WordPress install and to get an SSL certificate applied. You can reach them here:

  I hope that helps!
