 * Hi
 * I’m getting this error when I am adding a website ([http://jyot-ngo.org](http://jyot-ngo.org))
   to my UpdraftCentral account
 * =========
    There was an error in contacting the remote site. You should check
   that the remote site is online, is not firewalled, has remote control enabled,
   and that no security module is blocking the access. Then, check the logs on the
   remote site and your browser’s JavaScript console. If none of that helps, then
   you should try re-adding the site with a fresh key. Error code: bad request HTTP
   response status code: 400 =========
 * Any suggestions what to do to fix it?

 * Hi,
 * The 400 HTTP status code means “The server cannot or will not process the request
   due to something that is perceived to be a client error”. Does it occur if you
   de-activate any security plugins or other plugins that might block access? If
   so, the best thing to do is ask the web hosting company to trace it, as only 
   those with server admin access can look into why the server considers the request
   bad.
 * Regards,
    Bryle
