Hi Evan,
Thanks for this. I did try the advice on that article, but thought maybe I was looking at the wrong problem, as hosting support did everything I think I was supposed to do?
They advised the following:
“We have enabled the extension openssl.so in the php.ini file in the PHP Settings and this should resolve your problem with the connection because for the cURL on our system we should enable the outgoing connections and the clients could connect to the external websites.
We have created simple cURL script to confirm that this functions is working on our environment:

Despite this, I am still getting “API call to helper/ping failed: couldn’t connect to host” so I’m not sure what else I can try?
