The domain goblackcat.com and all subdomains are on the HSTS preload list. You _cannot_ serve unsecured HTTP content from those domains; all current modern browsers will refuse to read it. Removing a domain from the HSTS preload is difficult and time-consuming, but can be done at https://hstspreload.org/. I would recommend just setting up Let's Encrypt.
