An excellent tool for it’s purpose. Since we just set out to develop the largest website uptime monitoring network on the planet, (ie: http://www.BYTEmySITE.com ) I can appreciate the other side of the equation even more as a user. I too often encounter websites that appear dead, even big companies have this problem. So I will certainly give MrUptime a test drive.
