How long time ago did you verify the company’s website (and also network services and servers)? Are you scheduling your website monitoring tasks in any mater? Are you sure your website is working at the moment? Now I forespeak that you are starting your browser, entering the URL and looking if it is still there. Looks like the things are okay… Well may it be the web-page was just saved in the Opera cache? One more full refresh… Being in luck this time! But are you convinced it was responding yesterday, two weeks ago, or last month? Every provider will promise you a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Well, I would prefer to know this guaranteed.

Imagine that your prospective customers entering your website and it’s unexpectedly not available. They see some error string or simply white page. How do you suspect, how much of visitors will leave and will never browse again? Well, maybe some of them will perform an attempt later. But anyway, people prefer to place their purchases on the stable and secure websites. If you are doing some sort of online business, you better be sure, your visitors can browse your website and get info, stuff, and products they are searching for. Any particular error leads to loss of visitors that, in its turn, means loss of business.

Somebody may tell that it is life, everything happens, and you can’t completely avoid downtimes. This is half-way true. You can’t entirely elude them, but you can for sure minimize them! The sooner you will know about any error, the earlier you will be able to take the action and resolve it. Notify your hosting provider, restart some network services, etc.

With this aim in view, you may wish to try ProtoMon.

It needs only a couple of moments to download, install, configure, and start using this website monitoring program.

You will be able to add the monitors of the different types to check every aspect of your website. First of all you can add a ICMP monitor. It allows you to feel certain that the host network system is working.

Besides, ProtoMon can use the proxy server, and connect to the secured zones of the network. Also you may want to monitor your network using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP monitors. And control your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to make certain that you can receive email letters from the visitors and they can receive messages from you.

ProtoMon can launch the batch files on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then take and parse their output. This enables you to monitor almost every aspect of your website including the memory usage, CPU load and so on.

When any problem found, the monitoring software will let you know by displaying the pop-up window, playing some sound file, starting any program or URL, or sending a notification email message to the selected addresses.
