If you own a website, it is essential to regularly monitor your website. Gaining thousand traffics may effect your website load up time, and having a great web hosting hosted at really reliable server, is the most important thing. And of course, the most important thing when having a website is to monitor the web server uptime.

There’re almost NO server won’t get down. You’ll maybe find web hosting with 100% uptime, but are them really getting the exact amount of downtime? As far as I concern, most US server managements will reboot their server at least montly to ensure the server in good condition and well to be use. This includes to restart and refresh apache, mySQL and php. And the reboot process would take time up to 15 minutes per month (If the web hosting provider care enough with their server, they’ll maintain their server carefully).

And how can we check if one of our website is down? The easiest solution is by using a software called WatchMan.

It’s a free software and you can use it to check your website downtime. And when this happen, you can easily notify the web hosting provider and get to know the problem and the solution very soon. Imagine that your website down for days, and imagine how much earnings you lost for just the downtime. Well, I’ve been using this and it’s good for me. How about you? This has been a really good stuff.
