 * Dear WordPress community,
 * When trying to connect with Jetpack, I get the following error:
 * >  Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: _register\_http\_request\_failed_.
   > This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.
   > couldn’t connect to host
 * [http://www.biz.nf](http://www.biz.nf) is my hosting.
 * How can I resolve this problem?
 * Best regards,
 * Matthijs
 * **Further Information**
    Jetpack Debugging Center gives me the following feedback
 *     ```
       Testing your site's compatibility with Jetpack...
       There seems to be a problem with your site’s ability to communicate with Jetpack!
   
       Your site isn’t reaching the Jetpack servers.
   
       Your site isn’t securely reaching the Jetpack servers.
   
       It looks like your site can not communicate properly with Jetpack.
       ```
   
 * Furthermore, `xmlrpc.php` is just showing a blank screen.

 * What’s the URL of the site you can’t connect?

 * On the free hosting that Biz.nf offers they limit the ability to connect to outside
   services like Askismet and Jetpack.
 * FYI

 * Ah, that makes sense.
 * We typically don’t recommend free hosting providers around here, as they often
   offer crippled servers that prevent WordPress from functioning properly.
 * There is a [recommended hosting provider](https://wordpress.org/hosting/) (more
   on the way soon), and if you really want a free blog, try [WordPress.com](https://wordpress.com/)
   instead.
