This is the service being offered by AlertSite. The service not only checks whether your site is up, but that it is reliable and serving pages in a timely manner. Webmasters are notified instantly by e-mail when a problem is discovered.
Companies are likely to lose business and customer loyalty when sites are frequently unavailable.
Today's Web sites, especially those that deal in electronic commerce, are a company's most valuable source of revenue. We protect Web investments by helping to ensure a good user experience. AlertSite offers the free hourly service through the use of a Web-based robot called SiteWatchdog, which monitors Web sites from an independent connection to the Internet. Daily graphical reports are e-mailed to customers, and all data is available for analysis and reporting. The idea is that you'll like the service so much that you'll sign up for an extended service.
