I came across a site yesterday called InternetUptimeMonitor.com and found it really interesting. Why? Because they watch your web site from a network of servers all over the world. When your site goes down they email you. Pretty simple but effective. They also record how fast it takes your site to load and give you a nice chart showing you fast and slow times throughout the day.

If you have a site (or blog) of your own Iwould recommend at least signing up for their free account. Then you can have the piece of mind that comes with knowing if your site goes down you will get an email letting you know.

Their free account watches your site once per hour. This is perfectly fine for people with a site that is not earning them a lot of money or getting a lot of traffic. Their Business (gold) account has a 5-minute service level guarantee meaning they guarantee you will get a notification if your site is down within 5 minutes. There are a bunch of extras with these accounts like cell phone text-message alerts, monitoring more than one site, and more.

So when you should consider a business account? When you have a site that is earning you money of course! Think about it, if you have a site that is making you good money it is costing you money every minute its down. And no web hosting company or data center will offer you 100% uptime because it is not possible. So it is not a matter of IF you site goes down, it is only a matter of time of WHEN it goes down.

Even if you just want the free monitoring account use the link above so you can get your discount if you ever decide to upgrade.

Everybody is website goes down at one point or another. Why not be prepared ahead of time so you will at least know there is a problem.

They gave me a special link to pass on to my readers that will give you 65% off the retail price of their premier Business Monitoring Package. You can take advantage of it by clicking the link below:
