Thanks for point these situations out Ken! The reason I joined the
GnuCash-User mailing lists was because I sent a link to an acquaintance
that does bookkeeping professionally and he texted back that the website
was down, he then did a Google search and tried the GnuCash result on
his own and that link didn't work either, and he then goes on to tell me
that this is why he doesn't trust open source projects with his business
or his clients' business. It was pretty embarrassing for me and I have
hesitated to refer any possibly interested professionals that I meet to
GnuCash since.
I can confirm the certificate error for website #1. It looks like
gnucash.org uses Let's Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) as the
certificate authority and the certificate was valid from December 12,
2022 until March 11, 2023. My understanding was that Let's Encrypt was
free, so that might mean that it just has to be renewed/reauthorized...?
I can confirm that website #2 still lists the "Apache2 Ubuntu Default
Page" error for the non-https/secure gnucash website. I believe that
John mentioned that Linas upgraded his server in January and that broke
this feature and it has not been fixed since.
I also see Gnucash website #3 as working well. I can see that that
website also uses Let's Encrypt as the certificate authority and that
certificate is valid from March 5, 2023 until June 3, 2023.
I also noticed that website #1 & #2 has 2 "Subject Alt Names"
(gnucash.org & www.gnucash.org) on that certificate, while website #3
has just 1 (code.gnucash.org).
After briefly reading a few of the mailing list messages on US
banks/credit unions that are not allowing their transaction to be
downloaded/available in an open format, I have also wanted to start
emailing various financial institutions about whether they intend to
make such a format available. I would still need to further review the
formatting situation described in the email chains before I start asking
around and then opening an account at such a financial institution, but
if the main GnuCash website still doesn't work, it is hard to write such
emails at all.

So checking websites statuses today:
https://www.gnucash.org - privacy/certificate error
http://www.gnucash.org - Default appache2 page
https://code.gnucash.org/website - working perfectly.
As noted - this has been an issue since 11 February. The https:// was working
at one point a couple of weeks ago -- but now it is not.

As most everyone already knowswww.gnucash.org has been offline since 11
February because Linas Vepstas lost internet access and his ISP, Grande
Networks in Austin, TX, has not fixed it.
To provide replacement service until Linas gets back online we've set up an
alternate site,https://code.gnucash.org/website/.
