New age web. A Blog for everything Web 2.0

A new web 2.0 service called Site24×7 allows webmasters to get continuous monitoring of their websites. This means that if your website goes down, you will be notified immediately.

Not only this, but Site24×7 also does online store monitoring, web page content check for valid content or error messages, web page defacement check, high page load time monitoring, website performance tracking, ability to integrate uptime/downtime stats on your website, daily/weekly downtime reports through email, and feature-rich reports.

This is a really great service because most webmasters simply rely on their web hosting company for monitoring uptime, but the only problem is that most web hosts dont inform their clients of when their site goes down. this service tells you when your site is not functioning the way you want it. not only that but it also checks your content and gives you stats on your uptime.

I think that the coolest part about this service is that they alert you via email, sms, or rss feed. This means that if your site goes down, you can instantly be notified about it via your cell phone. so even if you are not on your computer, you will know how your site is doing. i believe this is REALLY IMPORTANT because downtime for a website = loss of revenue. and if you are not notified about your downtime, then you are losing money and you dont even know that you are losing it. not only that but if your users see that your site is down, they probably will not want to visit it again so keeping your website up is vital. i am really impressed with this service.

They have a basic free membership that lets you monitor 2 websites at 60 minute intervals. then there are standard and premeire memberships that allow you to have unlimited websites monitored at unlimited intervals. this means if you pay you can have Site24×7 checking your website for downtime every minute of the day, and it is probably worth it to do this in my opinion.

i believe this is a very useful service that many webmasters probably overlook in their work. if your website is down, then you have nothing and your users are going to hate it. and the worst thing would be to not even know that your website is down.
