Server Peace : Web Site Monitoring Services
When your site goes down, you want to know about it as soon as possible. Ideally, you’d detect that something was going badly before a failure occurred, using monit or similar software running on your server. But some failures just aren’t detectable in advance. Furthermore, if the failure brings down your server entirely, or is in the connectivity to the server, no software running on your server will be able to notify you.
Fortunately, there’s a simple and inexpensive solution: third-party monitoring services that periodically retrieve a page from your server and send you an alert if it fails. There are many such services, most of which have a limited free option and a variety of paid plans.
