How recently did you verify your website (and also servers and network)? Do you scheduling your website monitoring works in any mater? Are you sure your website is available at this moment? Now I suppose that you are launching your browser, typing the URL and watching if it’s still available. Looks like everything is okay… But maybe the page was just found in the browser cache? Lets do a complete reload… Phew, lucky for now! But can you be convinced it was responding yesterday, two weeks ago, or past month? Every hosting provider will promise you a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Well, I would prefer to know that without fail.

Imagine that your potential customers opening your website and it is accidentally not responding. They look at some error text or simply white page. How do you think, how much of them will depart and will never come back? Well, maybe some of them will perform an attempt later. But anyway, people like to place their purchases on the steady and safe servers. If you are running any sort of network business, you need to be sure, your customers can reach your server and receive data, stuff, and products they are searching for. Any particular downtime leads to loss of customers that, in its turn, means loss of business.

Someone can tell that it is life, downtimes happens, and nobody can entirely avoid them. That is partly true. You can’t totally elude them, but you can definitely minimize them! The precedently you get information about any error, the earlier you can take the action and fix it. Notify your hosting provider, check some network services, etc.

For this purpose, you may want to try ProtoMon. It’s a server monitoring software intended to automatically load your website, servers, and network computers in some intervals and in no time alert you if some problems found. It needs only a couple of minutes to download, install, configure, and start using this website monitoring software.

You will be able to add the checks of the different kinds to perform monitoring jobs for every aspect of your network. First of all you can add a ICMP monitor. This permits you to feel certain that the host network computer is reachable. Website monitor (HTTP monitor) can connect to the web-server, download some web page and even check its content with the powerful filters which support the boolean expressions. By the way, ProtoMon is able to make use of the proxy server, and connect to the password protected sections of the network. Also you may wish to monitor your network using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocols. And check your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to ensure that you can get e-mail messages from the customers and they can get answers from you.

ProtoMon can start the scripts on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then take and check their output. This allows you to monitor almost every parameter of your network including the CPU load, memory usage and so on.

When any issue happened, the monitoring software will let you know by showing the pop-up message, playing some sound file, executing any program or URL, or sending a notification email message to the specified addresses.

This network monitoring software stores full monitoring statistics of every monitor on your computer. You may review it when you need, using a handy viewer which includes a well-looking graph which supports panning and zooming and detailed explanations for even better usability. Plus you can enable the built-in web server to connect to ProtoMon remotely, and see the monitoring statuses, failure list and statistics with the favorite web-browser.
