Is Wilson Software still in Business?
For the last week or so any attempt to log onto Wilson Software brings up a dead page. Does anyome know if they are still in business?
I keep getting a HTTP 403 Forbidden screen.
Thanks!

HTTP 403 usually doesn't mean "the site is dead," but rather that the server is active, but access to the resource is blocked (due to IP, region, missing headers, WAF/filters, etc.).
In such cases, there are several options:
The site is indeed still operational, but access has been restricted (for example, by closing the public login or changing the access rules);
The configuration has broken after an update/migration (a very common occurrence for small companies);
Bot/scraper protection has been enabled, and a regular browser is now blocked;
Or the service is essentially "half-dead," but the server hasn't yet been completely shut down.
Checking whether they're still in business usually comes down to indirect signs—site updates, support activity, DNS/SSL changes, responses from other IPs/networks.
If 403 persists across multiple devices and networks, this likely indicates either intentional access restrictions or that the site is no longer being supported properly, even if the infrastructure has not yet been shut down.
