Coast-to-Coast Coins MIA?

Hi,
Coast-to-Coast Coins is one of my favorite online vendors--Excellent inventory; good photos; good quality coins, and good service. They're not the low-cost option, necessarily, but their prices are fair, and they are a pleasure to deal with.
They seem to have been missing in action for several days. Entering the URL in any browser results in a warning screen. And I haven't received their daily email with their new inventory all week.
Does anyone here have any idea what's up with them?
Thanks.
Mark

The warning is: "NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID".
Could be that someone forgot to renew their SSL certificate.
I see a post from 2 days ago on facebook that looks normal.
I’m on their list to get their daily Newp’s email. The last one I received was last Friday. I just checked, and apparently their website is down too.
I hope all is well with Ken.

Did anyone try calling them on the phone? Agree that they are a good company and I've bought from them several times. They also sell a lot of coins on eBay but you can negotiate a better price dealing with them directly.

What a concept!
I just called them, and they say that their server is down, but they're fine.
Mystery (kind of) solved!
Yes, what a concept! Unfortunately, that doesn't work in the middle of the night when the prior three replies and the OP were made. BUT, in all seriousness, THANKS for making that effort, and solving the mystery!

So I guess the "days of yore" equivalent to this would be not seeing their weekly ad in Coin World and worrying what happened to them a few weeks earlier before the press deadline, and then bringing it up at their local coin club meeting. Except that nobody would really worry, they'd just move on and wait for next week's issue to come out, which would be before the meeting on the third Tuesday of the month, anyway.

Saw them at the ANA money show, even sold them two coins, hope that my two coins didn't break their site!

They must have been pretty awesome coins!

It's possible that they didn't have the super secret password needed to renew the certificate because they were traveling. That's the kind of thing you only use every couple of years so you lock it away safely in a drawer. The notification email goes to some old, former employee or email account you no longer use (Hello: aol.com, Hotmail???), and oopsie...
