Remove SSL

Hello, I am using hostgator vps with plesk installed. I have been involved in a problem - google is indexing my pages with https://. Now the real problem is i never bought an ssl. When i contacting hostgator people, they told to contact google forumsn, they they told add a https redirect to http. but redirect won't work as i have no https to kick it off. Recently on a forum i found that plesk is automatically adding an SSL certificate and that is causing pbm. In short, how can i prevent search engines indexing https pages?
 
You perhaps can simply disable https in hosting settings of your site. Once stopped responding in https://, google shall stop indexing it
 
You can also add the cononical link in your code, its good SEO to do that anways
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.domain.com/blog" />

or you can add in .htaccess that redirects
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
