Port 80 succeeds but 443 does not

I am trying to setup Discourse on Hostinger. When following the Discourse setup, upon entering my domain infamousforum.com (which is pointed to Hostinger from Namecheap), I recieve this error:


WARNING: Port 443 of computer does not appear to be accessible using hostname:  infamousforum.com.

SUCCESS: A connection to port 80 succeeds!
This suggests that your DNS settings are correct,
but something is keeping traffic to port 443 from getting to your server.
Check your networking configuration to see that connections to port 443 are allowed.


“telnet infamousforum.com 443” connects

What could be causing this?

netstat -tulpn | grep 443

The above command should tell you what service is currently using port 443 on the server.

It doesn’t output anything.

@Zenti, Ensure SSL is active and port 443 is open in Hostinger’s firewall, then restart Discourse.
