Since the last update, we have gathered a great deal of information on why NextLevelPurchasing.com has been down this week.

Our site has endured a DDoS attack. This is where a virus causes hundreds or thousands of computers to repeatedly “hit” a website so fast and frequently that it causes the website to be unresponsive to normal traffic. Fortunately, no student information was compromised.

As of Monday, we have implemented a contingency plan where our students are able to participate in their classes on our other domain. Students can log into their classes at http://www.purchasingcourses.com/login.

We are in the process of moving our website to an entirely new dedicated server with even better protection from these types of malicious incidents. We are working hard on this move and configuring our site in the hope that we will restore normal access through NextLevelPurchasing.com very, very soon. We are optimistic that NextLevelPurchasing.com will be accessible in the USA as early as today and to the rest of the world next week.

Please contact us with any questions you may have at 1-412-294-1990 or support@nextlevelpurchasing.com.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of our main site being down. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we deal with this very, very challenging situation.
