I have deactivated all plugins except for JetPack. I can install and activate JetPack, but when I click the "Connect to WordPress.com" button, I get the following error:
"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 500]. Ask your web host if they allow connections from WordPress.com. If you need further assistance, contact Jetpack Support: http://jetpack.me/support/"
I ran the "JetPack Compatibility Test" plugin and got this message:

My web host seems to provide little to no help on this issue and has put my request "on hold." Is there some way to fix this via an .htaccess file or something?
