New Bulk Update Option

Uptime Confirmation System

< 1 min read We do all this at the same time as your normal test alerts would be sent so there is absolutely no delay to uptime alerts if you’re site is working as intended and if it’s likely to go down again after a few seconds our test agents will simply wait for the service to be truly up

Alternative to Internetseer.com

2 min read At Internetseer.com if you’re looking for free website monitoring your websites will only be monitored every hour.  But what happens if your site is checked by Internetseer and then goes down for 55 minutes?  You’d never have known about your website’s downtime.  And in the meantime you’d have lost money, customers and your hard earned reputation.
