How recently was you checking your website (and also network services and servers)? Are you scheduling your website monitoring works in any way? Can you be sure your website is functioning at the moment? Now I forespeak that you are clicking on your browser, entering the URL and checking if the website is still there. Looks like the things are perfect… But may it be the web-page is just found in the Firefox cache? Performing a full refresh… Being in luck this time! But can you be convinced it was available yesterday, two weeks ago, or last month? Most providers grant you a 99.9% uptime. Well, I think you would like to know that guaranteed.

Imagine that your potential clients entering your website in time it’s accidentally not available. They see complicated error message or even empty page. How do you think, how much of visitors will depart and will never return? Well, maybe some of them will do an attempt later. But anyway, people like to make their purchases on the reliable and safe servers. If you are running any sort of Internet business, you better be sure, your visitors can browse your website and get data, stuff, and products they are looking for. Any particular failure leads to loss of clients that, in its turn, means loss of business.

One may tell that this is life, everything happens, and you can not completely avoid downtimes. That is partly true. You can not completely evade them, but you can of course minimize them! The earlier you will know about any issue, the earlier you can take the action and fix it. Call your hosting provider, restart some network services, etc.

With this aim in view, you may wish to try ProtoMon. It is the server monitoring software designed to automatically check your servers, website, and network in some intervals and immediately report you when some failures occurred. It takes only a few moments to download, install, configure, and start using this website monitoring program.

You will be able to add the checks of the different types to perform monitoring tasks for every aspect of your network. As a first step you may want to create a ICMP monitor. This allows you to be sure that the host network system is reachable. Website monitor (HTTP monitor) can connect to the web server, download some web page and optionally check its content using the text filters which support the boolean expressions. By the way, the program can make use of the proxy server, and connect to the secured sections of the website. Also you may want to monitor your file server using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP monitors. And control your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to ensure that you are able to receive email messages from the clients and they can get your answers.

ProtoMon can execute the batch files on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then capture and analyze their output. This allows you to monitor almost each aspect of your website including the memory usage, CPU load and so on.

When any error detected, the monitoring utility can contact you by displaying the pop-up dialog, playing some sound file, launching any script or URL, or sending a notification email letter to the desired addresses.

This network monitoring software stores full monitoring statistics of all monitors on your computer. You can review it locally, with a statistics viewer what includes a nice-looking graph which supports zooming and panning and descriptive notes for even better handiness. Or you may wish to enable the built-in web server to connect to ProtoMon from your network, and review the monitor statuses, failure list and statistics using the favorite web-browser.
