Site24x7 - Web site Monitoring Service

Recently I have been using some external web site monitoring service, site24x7 to monitor my blog .

 

The above stats show the last 7 days report of my blog . Well, I have a downtime of almost 2 min. and I have been notified through email and sms to my mobile. Thanks Site24x7.


 
Site24x7 provides you with two types of accounts, Free and Professional . Upon signing up they will give you a 15-day evaluation period and 10 free sms to test drive their site. After evaluation period , you will automatically be pushed to a Free account which lets you monitor 2 websites at 60 min. polling intervals. Professional account lets you monitor unlimited websites at any pollinterval starting from 5 min. . Professional account starts at $0.5/month/url(at 60 min. poll interval).

Well i cannot stop here , without giving a mention of their tools section which is been recently added. Site24x7 offers you a free set of tools .

1. Webpage Analyzer - This tool will show you the total page size, number of requests made and
the total time taken to retrieve a webpage. This tool is useful in finding
reasons behind slow pages. Personally, this is the tool I love.

2. DNS Lookup - This tool will do a dnslookup of your domain and gets you the Adress
records of your domain, Mail server records , Name server Records.

3. Find IP - Well if you want to find the ip of your webpage/ domain/ blog , its the
way to find it. Even I have to check out my IP before posting it here.

4. Find Location - Where is your Domain hosted?? Even I dont know where are the servers
behind this blog hosted before I encountered this tool.

5. Test Availability - Test your website /domain domain for availability, response time and some
header information.
