Detect website downtimes

By Praveen Edburg | Friday, December 12, 2008


It can be a tedious task to start and run a website successfully. One will have to face several hardships such as designing the site, making the layout look attractive and deal with various spammers. But above all, assuring that the website is up and running will be of utmost importance as these down times can cause visitors not use the services of the website at those times and may in fact refrain from using the site. Downtimes may be caused due to a variety of reasons such as server failure, bandwidth limit exceeds, etc. For businesses, these down times may be harmful to a much larger extent as it has the potential to cause much bigger losses.

To avoid this fear of the website going down, one cannot just keep on ensuring that the website works fine. It can be automated using a website or web server monitoring service such as SlashDot. One can create an account in the site and receive SMS directly to one’s mobile phone about the problems that may currently be faced in the site. The service helps to detect down times, know the problems earlier, fix problems earlier and improve the uptime.

This service can be very useful to website owners and help them in avoiding and worrying about downtimes and the problems that they face with the website.
