What is going on with the AMA site? Every time I try to confirm my web page Hyperlink I get a connection refused marker, are they having troubles?

NATs time, maybe they are setting up for all the scoring etc. that they will have to be doing.
I don't have a clue but I think weekends are the time to do maintenance when it needs done.

Still down Sunday morning..... if it was maintenance looks like they would do in weekday in the early AM like 12:00 to 8:00 when most of us do it. I'm sure most of their hits come on weekends.
Oh well....

The company they are using to host the website has issues. There is no excuse for the amount of downtime the AMA website sustains. It is hosted by a outside vendor. It is not hosted at AMA headquarters.
I am involved with websites that get at least 5 times the traffic the AMA pages get and we in 2 years have not had the amount of errors I have seen myself in the last 2 months on the AMA website. If someone out there knows what they are paying a year for the service they have now I would be very curious.
Heh I wish the AMA site was as stable as RCU. Not taking away from the expense of running RCU and paying its bills. Ill bet you AMA is paying way more and it just isnt the quality of service that a large organizations website should have as far as connectivity.
Just my opinion

Hosting cost's have dropped dramatically, Lunar will host you for $7.95 a month and you get all kinds of extra stuff, you can even have two sites hosted on the same account....

Hosting and maintenance costs for a site like AMA's will generally cost around $1000.00 a month give or take a lil just as a round about fair figure.
As to what they actually pay at this point Ill stay out of that discussion. All I know is when I saw the figures in the financial statement that someone pointed out to me. The words %#$$ and %##$ came out of my mouth.
