WP HTTP Error: name lookup timed out

Hello! My Dashboard recently started taking ~30 seconds to load each page. When I load the main Dashboard page, the RSS feed area at the right gives the error “RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: name lookup timed out”. Other threads I found about this error are very old, but say to install the Core Controls plugin and test cURL. I did so and I get the error “An Error has occured: name lookup timed out”. Those same threads said to disable cURL if that error occurs, but I have two problems with that: 1) it doesn’t fix the issue for me, and 2) I use the Google Calendar Events plugin, which needs cURL.

I recently installed and uninstalled the CloudFlare plugin, and my nameservers were pointing to CloudFlare’s nameservers, but that has all since been reverted. I do believe, however, that the problem started after I uninstalled the CloudFlare plugin, though I can’t remember for sure.

Any ideas as to how I could fix this?

For a little more info, here are some other things that happen.

Deactivated/reactivated Jetpack, now when I try to reconnect it to my WordPress.com account I get the following error:

Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.

On the Add Plugins page (/wp-admin/plugin-install.php), I get the following PHP error:

Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /home/nacha2/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 77

The referenced line 77 is trigger_error() in this statement:

if ( $ssl && is_wp_error( $request ) ) {
	trigger_error( __( 'An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration.

	$request = wp_remote_post( $http_url, $args );
