Straight from me!

How do you keep tabs on your hoster for your website? Is your website down? Have you suddenly lost the chance to get that phone call because the person visiting your site got a blank screen and you didn’t know?

Well I along, with many other. have found a site called Basic State that checks to see if your web server (along with other types of servers) is up and notifies you if it suddenly goes down. It also in additions sends you a daily performance report of your website. I have been using it for some time now and it has notified me of a failure of my client’s web severs before I even knew and really saved me. As a result of knowing this failure I was able to provide less down time for the client and get that server back up and running faster because I knew there was a problem.  So try it out because you never know when your servers going to go down, whether its hosted by a small company out in no where or by some large enterprise, you better be safe then sorry.
