It's now over a week and counting, there Robert... How long is your website going to "rfresh" your monitoring contract. Tsk... I see you're *still* advertising Alarm Central as "UL Listed"... my, my... what a tangled web you weave...
How long is "five minutes"??

Back when I was shopping around for my alarm system, I ran across this "site is refreshing" page. I'm not sure who Robert is, but it was enough of a deterrent to stear clear.
smart man.
must be to busy with returns.
How long is five minutes?
Depends on which side of the rest room door you are on!

Good point, Allan... LOL!!
"Five minutes" was apparently long enough for him to source out his monitoring services to "Next Alarm". Funny how he's still got the "Alarm Central" logo in there (right text to the big orange "Next Alarm")... I guess he not only "can't type", he "can't code HTML" either... Tsk!!
The fact that he's also no longer directly involved in selling the monitoring means the State Investigator did his job.
I regenerate the site whenever I need to add a product or make other changes to the pages. The process takes anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes (usually). During the regeneration period all pages respond with a "404" error. It is possible to display a custom HTML page when a 404 occurs. I thought the "site is refreshing" message would be more helpful than the standard 404 message. The down side is that if any URL has an error in it the same message will be displayed indefinitely.
I'm a retired alarm installer with one of the more popular security websites catering to DIYers.
No problem. Hope you found what you needed.
