Is IDGod domain working?

posted by regattaplates 1 month ago 313 views 0 comments

Checked IDGod's domain situation this morning because two people in my Discord mentioned getting certificate errors over the past few days. Here's what I actually found when I tested it myself.

What loaded and what didn't

The primary .com domain redirects to a different URL now — it's been doing this for a while, but the redirect destination has changed since the last time I checked. The current landing page loaded without errors in both Chrome and Firefox. The SSL certificate is valid with about eight months remaining. There's no interstitial warning or browser security flag when you visit directly.

The older mirror URL that some people still have bookmarked returns a 403 now. If you're getting certificate errors or blank pages, that's likely why — you're hitting an old URL that's no longer active. The new landing page is linked from their verified Dread post, which was updated about two weeks ago.

Login and account area

I could log into my account without issues. The order history page loaded correctly. The payment page rendered but I didn't complete a transaction, so I can't confirm payment processing end-to-end. I did see that the wallet address displayed on checkout matches the one they've been using since March, which is a good sign that the site hasn't been compromised or replaced with a phishing clone.

The certificate errors some people reported might be from cached DNS pointing to the old address, or from ISPs that haven't updated their routing. Clearing your browser cache and DNS cache, then navigating to the verified current URL fresh, resolved the issue for one person I walked through it with. If you're still seeing errors after that, post the specific error message — a certificate mismatch and a plain 403 are different problems with different causes.

One final note: bookmark the verified current URL from their signed Dread post rather than relying on search results. Search indexes cache old URLs for months after they stop working, and that's the most common reason people hit dead domains on an otherwise active vendor site.
