Replicate Old Website

Some time ago I stumbled upon a really cool and simple website (Not a shop, no forum, it's just a full screen GIF and some background music). Unfortunately no contact info on the site.

I was such a big fan that I created a QR code for my Teams profile picture, linking to that website. Can you imagine how disappointed I was when the website SSL certificate expired?

I waited, hoping the certificate might get renewed at some point. But it never happened.

Now to my point/question: How do you feel re-creating a website, with almost the same URL? I just want my QR code working, and I don't want my users to be irritated, when they scan the code and get an error in the browser.

To be honest, I already did it, but now my conscience bugs me.
