There is nothing worse than going to your blog or website and seeing that it’s not loading. What is even worse is the amount of readers and/or customers you may lose just from a few minutes of downtime. Plus, a lot of times you may not even know that your website was ever down. Luckily, this list of services can help monitor those unfortunate, yet hopefully far and between, outages.
Here is another service that allows you to only monitor up to 5 websites with a free account. You can receive alerts via email or SMS; Twitter DMs are another option for receiving notifications but only for Pro or Plus subscribers. Also for free accounts your website will only be checked at 1 hour intervals.
A free account here will let you monitor one website and receive 20 SMS alerts for free – all email alerts are free. There are also a lot of configuration options such as choosing your intervals, notification settings, and more. Plus, their reports and statistics are very detailed and really give you a lot of different views of your website’s performance.
This is a free website monitoring service with numerous customization options. You can choose from various interval frequencies – 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 3 hours. You can receive email alerts about uptimes and downtimes and view basic reports about your website. You can even schedule your website maintenance through 100Pulse.
Here you can monitor up to 5 websites for free in 15 minute, 30 minute and 1 hour intervals. You can receive alerts via email or SMS and you can specify up to 2 emails to be alerted. You will also receive uptime monitoring reports. Unfortunately, with free accounts your records are only kept for one month.
Not only will Basic State monitor your website for free but, they’ll notify you of any network failures. Their site design might hurt them since it has a black background; many people find this hard to read. You will also get 3 separate performance graphs for your websites that show uptime, average response times, and total response times.
This is a great server and uptime monitoring service with lots of helpful features like: group monitoring, email monitoring, ftp server monitoring, DNS entries monitoring, database monitoring and a lot more. You can receive alerts via SMS, email and phone plus they have a false alarm protection which guarantees flawless alerts.
I like their setup the best because it allows you to add all of your website URLs at once instead of having to add them each separately. You can then choose from 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, or 60 minute intervals. Lastly, you can also add a list of emails addressed to be notified plus, you can also choose to receive reports daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and/or yearly.
This is a unique service in that it not only provides uptime monitoring but also provides SEO monitoring. You can choose between 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour intervals. Since MazeCore is more of a SEO tool there are not many features for the monitoring but, you can receive alerts via email or phone.
