example.com it works fine. But when my friend tried, they found that

I'm working on building my first website in a non-corporate environment. When I go to example.com it works fine. But when my friend tried, they found that GoDaddy forces HTTPS everywhere and got a cert error. Then the got a generic page about "Future home of something quite cool." (it forwards to a cgi folder of some sort).

Is there a way to disable this behavior? If at all possible, I don't want to pay for a SSL certificate if I can avoid it. The page just displays some basic stuff for my school work. I don't collect customer data, so I don't think SSL is necessary.

I'm using Linux hosting with CPanel right now. Though that can change easily enough. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, you can disable HTTP to HTTPS redirect by modifying the .htaccess files just remove the following code from your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Also, you are able to get a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt

Cpanel has a plugin that you are able to install using the command line on the server.

There also other ways that you can get a free Let's Encrypt certificate if you don't have command line access to your server.
