    Ok so, here’s the deal.
    I just started making my own website (rasmuslovstad.dk) using wordpress with a little bit of help from my mom. She recommended that is installed Jetpack before anything else. I have it installed and activated but when I click the “Connect to get started” button, it shows this error message:
    Your website needs to be publicly accessible to use Jetpack: site_inaccessible
    Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 403]. Ask your web host if they allow connections from WordPress.com. If you need further assistance, contact Jetpack Support: https://jetpack.me/support/
    After that I googled the issue and send a support ticket to my host. They said that it was not a fault on their side so I had to contact Jetpack support. So here I am. I chose to put it on the forum so people can see this if they have the same problem as me.
    Thank you in advance!

    Jetpack uses your site’s XML-RPC file to communicate with WordPress.com. Unfortunately we cannot access that file when querying it from WordPress.com servers:

    Could you contact your hosting provider again, and forward them the link above? It should help them understand where the problem is, and they should be able to enable XML-RPC access again.

    Once that error is fixed, you’ll be able to connect Jetpack to your WordPress.com account.

    I hope this helps.
