How to monitor your website or blog status

I am proud of my website, but I can’t check that it is working around the clock, without a service to monitor it for me. There are many choices, but for now, I am using mon.itor.us. They offer a free service that anyone can use.

It is pretty simple. The basic steps are:

1. Open an account
2. Create an email contact
3. Create an IM or SMS contact
4. Create a test for your website address
5. Verify that everything is working

My website status is now being checked automatically. When things go wrong, I am notified, so I can do something about it. If you ever notice a problem with my site, please email me or call me about it. Computers are helpful, but there is nothing better than people for knowing what is important. If you have a blog or website, sign up with mon.itor.us, it’s free and gives you insight into your visitor’s experience.
