Services are now operational. Upon deeper investigation we've realized that the cause of this downtime was a massive scale DDoS attack, our data center is working to mitigate the attack. Further downtimes may occur over the next 24 hours while we monitor and mitigate the attacks.

We put our potential customers at the forefront of our operations. We asked for recommendations simply to give potential customers the opportunity to feel like they are helping us with crucial decisions.
@AmesDepStores
To anyone so gullible as to believe any of this just ask yourself this one question: would a professional business act in this manner, constantly tweeting nonsense about server issues and asking followers where brick and mortar stores should be built? 😂. That’s not how it works.

We will keep you updated and will confirm once the changes have gone live, as they take a couple of hours to show. This time is not within our control, and we're sorry for the inconvenience caused.
We can confirm that only our website is affected at this time and other services are working as normal. The issue is due to a misconfiguration in the DNS while upgrading our services a few days ago. The fix has been implemented but may take up to 4 hours for services to resume.

Please read.
Our team are implementing the security measures needed to help stop email phishing attacks being sent from our domain.
Domain will remain suspended until tomorrow while we investigate, mitigate, and correct this issue.
The reason is suspended at this time is because we've received a large amount of reports relating to email phishing coming from our domain. We're working to implement new security measures to try and prevent this. Domain will remain suspended for now.
