unidox Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I run a web hosting site... Anyone know of some good website monitoring sites that print charts and stuff, so I can add all my clients to it and get alerts via email and sms when their sites go down?

Mchl Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I read recently of a guy who was doing such monitoring from his home PC and using Twitter to sent himself text messages. Granted, you would need a PC online 24/7 for that (and hope Twitter doesn't go down) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I read recently of a guy who was doing such monitoring from his home PC and using Twitter to sent himself text messages. Granted, you would need a PC online 24/7 for that (and hope Twitter doesn't go down) Some phone companies have emails that forward to SMS, so it could just send an email for some people. But even then, the computer from which he ran it would have to be always on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkWater Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 3/5 computers in my house are on all day, every day. The other 2 are laptops, so it would be kind of dumb to leave them on. I have a backup power supply on my main box for blackouts, so it's REALLY always on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
