VGCollect Site Is Redirecting To Another Website

[burningdoom]

I just tried to come here by typing "www.vgcollect.com" directly in my address bar. I've done this a 1,000 times at work. I'm on the same work computer. But this time I got this (and I double-checked the address):

After I decided to go ahead anyways, because I trust VGCollect's website. It took me to Michigan Beer Brewing Supplies website. I ended up getting here through Google this time.

Oh, that's Matt's other site. :p Maybe there's a DNS issue somewhere. I tried this in my browser and it worked, also tried this in another browser with no VGC history on it and I had no problems.

While I'm not seeing any redirection going on, there definitely appears to be a server certificate error going on. He might have applied the wrong certificate on the web server if they share the same server.

I'm not sure how much https is used on this site, but I'm sure it's important to secure the login portion of the front page.

Here's a Qualys SSL analysis.

Ninja Edit: P.S. Does Matt run that beer supplier or just the website? Either way, super cool!

That's pretty sweet. My girlfriend's brother has started home brewing. If I had more space I'd be home brewing too. The subject has always fascinated me. The end result is beer! What's not to love.

No issues on my Chrome

I always noticed that there was a permanent ad for homebrewing supplies on the site and I always wondered why. now I know.

haha. Yeah the site for my other business is setup on the same server and that site has the SSL. I've got a config issue somewhere which only allows one SSL on the server, and thus if you try https for vgcollect, you'll get the other site.

But yes, I do own Michigan Brew Supply. It's the reason I haven't been able to be as active as usual here. We opened up the retail shop back in June after running it online for about 12 months.

Mmm...  Beer...

Just finally fixed this issue. Added a new IP and moved the brew supply site over to it's own IP.

I normally go to http://vgcollect.com/forum/ but when i tried vgcollect.com it never loaded.

Maybe the interwebs wants you to start brewing beer at home? Or someone at VG Collect HQ who knows your work internet IP. Is trying to start brewing for all of us?
