    Hello,
    I am getting the error:
    Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.

    Operation timed out after 15008 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

    I tried switching back to the default theme for WordPress (twenty eleven), tried uninstalling and reinstalling, also disabled all plugins except Jetpack, but I am still getting the error.

    I am using WordPress 3.6.1 and Jetpack version 2.5

    I just updated to Jetpack 2.5, hoping that it would fix the connection problem, but no luck. Thanks in advance for any help!

    My site URL is vegaschipcollectors.com

    I just deleted all the files on my website, and did a fresh install of wordpress 3.6.1 and activated the Jetpack plugin that came with it, updated to 2.5 and tried to connect. I am still getting the same error.

    This timeout error indicates that your site currently blocks all incoming connections from WordPress.com. I noticed that your site is hosted with GoDaddy, on a shared Windows server. In the past few weeks, other GoDaddy users reported similar issues; they were also hosted on a Windows server.

    GoDaddy is aware of the issue, and recommends to all users experiencing issues with their Windows servers to switch to a Linux server instead. To do so, go to your site management panel, and try the following:

    1) Click the + next to the hosting
    2) Clicked on options, then the customize tab
    3) Select the drop down menu under “Plan” and scroll up to select Linux

    According to GoDaddy, it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to apply, but your site will be completely transferred, and you will then be able to use Jetpack.

    If you do not feel comfortable making the change by yourself, do not hesitate to contact GoDaddy to let them know about the issue.
