 HTTPS buys you some additional assurance that it's a "known" site at least.

 In order to get that, you need a static IP, will probably have a reverse
pointer, and it proves you're in control of the DNS records that represent
the site.  But still, anyone that really has nefarious intents can easily
set all that up with a dummy company. So in the end, it buy's you some
safety even when you are not giving information, but not all much.

 So I would agree with you in that I wouldn't think twice about visiting a
site with http.  But if I have to login or send information, then absolutely
I'd be looking for https.

 What would be most critical though is that I have some good anti-virus
checking the sites I'm visiting, whether their HTTP or HTTPS.  

Jim.

So what are you secruing/protecting when you visit an information site that
is not collecting 
your details.

What exactly is the risk in going to http://000m6c1.myregisteredwp.com/
