their SSL certificate is currently misconfigured, so certain browsers will not display the site:

This server could not prove that it is www.ovnilab.com; its security certificate is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

you have to use the non-https address "http:// www.ovnilab.com/" (something which has been generally deprecated on the web for years now)

In the first screenshot it looks like you entered "vww" not www. But thanks everyone for looking out!
No, I use www, I think it looks like vww because my the other part of w is not visible

It just means the site owner or (more likely) their hosting company hasn't done their SSL certificate maintenance.
SSL certificates are free, automatic and painless now thanks to CERTBOT - but not everyone has figured that out, it seems!
A website without an SSL certificate is generally safe to use as long as it's not something you either pay money to or store personal information at ( like username and password for example). This is because without the SSL certificate the site could rather easily be impersonated by 'someone with evil intent'... Probably not the case here... but " the 21st-century-way" is for all sites to have SSL...

Ah now I understand. It's not that my SSL is misconfigured, it's that I stopped working on the site a few years before SSL became mandatory. It never had an SSL cert. I will add one, though one of the things I intentionally did with that site was hand write it in plain html so that I would "never" have to do technical updates.
