For a few weeks we were not able to use the domain www.annabelleigh.net (for reasons which I won't go into); using gc.glgarden.org was just a workaround. It does not "spring to life" when annabelleigh.net goes down (it's always there); if there are technical reasons why annabelleigh.net is not available, glgarden.org won't be available, either.

Of course the site is exactly the same; it's just different domain names being used.

And the certificate must be identical since we use the same certificate for a number of different domains (one of the things browsers complain about is that the certificate is not linked to the domain name).

The thing I warned about in my earlier post is that someone (we all know who) uses a compromised TOR exit node to redirect traffic for GC to a fake GC; they can steal passwords from unencrypted traffic just by using the compromised TOR server, but if they have a server with a fake GC, they can use their own SSL certificate and that way steal encrypted password. That is why people should contact me if there seems to be anything wrong with the SSL certificate.
