Pingdom: Monitors Website Downtime & Sends Alerts
Nothing gets more annoying for webmasters than a website in downtime. Downtime incidents can cost a lot of wasted revenue and traffic. It even hurts more if you have no idea when and why your website is down. Enter Pingdom, it is a handy web service that monitors website downtime and lets you know when your website is down with alerts.
Pingdom works by monitoring your website from multiple servers and making sure they are working. It can check your websites, private directories, FTP servers, email servers and more. When one of your servers is out, Pingdom will know and will alert you immediately through SMS, e-mail or iPhone app.
The Pingdom control panel lets you view the downtime, how long each downtime lasted, the error that caused them and more. It also checks if your DNS lookups work, locates network problems, detects the header response from your server and more.
