Login Redirect Loop

    Hello.

    I purchased a domain from Namecheap.com with a .one extension. I then successfully redirected it to my free Awardspace.com service and installed WordPress. I installed Really Simple SSL, and followed the instructions on this WP Beginner article.
    After changing the WordPress and Site addresses to https, the login screen does not reappear. Instead I received this message:

    This site can’t be reachedgloballygrowing.one unexpectedly closed the connection.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

    Now, I cannot log back in.

    How do I get back in to rectify this issue?

    How did you change the address? With a plugin or manually?

    I installed the Really Simple SSL plugin first, but when I activated it, it didn’t activate properly, so I changed it manually in settings. I didn’t know at the time that Awardspace.com doesn’t support SSL certificates with their free version. Is that TMI?

    Did u edit the .htaccess file or wp-config.php file?

    Seems like it wasn’t configured properly.

    Where did you get your certificates? May be ask your hosting provider if you can use LetsEncrypt

    @ Kuldeep, I’m not sure how to edit those files. I can get to them, but I wouldn’t know what edits to make exactly.

    @ a2hostingjr, Hmmmm…. that’s worth a try, however, their site clearly states that they don’t offer SSL certs on their free version.

    Maybe it isn’t necessary that I have one though. This site is only to be used for a podcast landing page.

    Then, my question becomes, how do I reset it? Will a full site reset be necessary? I wouldn’t mind doing that if necessary, but when I had to reset my bluehost site, the process was quite laborious because Bluehost must do some things on their end.

    I deleted the SSL info on the .htaccess file, but I still cannot access the login screen. I can’t find the wp-config.php file

    OK, Guys, thanks for all your help. I managed to zap it and start over, which is want I wanted anyway.
