There is no doubt that website uptime and general performance is important for anybody who heavily replies on keeping their websites up and running. For a long time, Pingdom has earned my trust as being one of the most reliable website performance monitoring tools to recommend. However, it might be time to throw one more suggestion your way – blamestella.com.
Website Speed Monitoring with Stella
Reliable Web Site Monitoring with Site24x7.com
With both paid and free versions, Site24x7.com looks to be a great web site monitoring package. They do monitoring of uptime and performance of your web sites, online services and servers. They also promise to deliver instant alerts the moment something goes wrong.
You can set the monitoring tools to check the web site in question you wish to monitor in intervals ranging from 5 to 60 minutes or above.
If the worst might happen, and you need to be told, here are the various ways they can alert you to trouble:
- RSS
- SMS Messages
For those of you just wanting to beta test the service; when you first sign up, you are given a fully functional, 15-day trial account. At the end of 15 days, your account will be downgraded to free unless you upgrade to either Standard or Premium account.
Check out the screenshots, then give them a shot at Site24x7.com.
