 * Hi [@aquaholly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aquaholly/)
 * Since you do not have SSL installed, I do recommend that you follow the steps
   on this link to bring the site back up [Changing the URL directly in the database](https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#changing-the-url-directly-in-the-database)
 * Once the site is back up, ask your host to install the SSL for you.
