How Can A Website Owner Know When Its site Is Down To Avoid Losses?

(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 15, 2010 ) Oakdale, MN -- Website owners depend on their sites to be accessible to website visitors on a regular basis, right? Well, the problem with this scenario is the fact that most website servers end up going down from time to time.

When this happens, a website is no longer accessible to the public. If they can not get to the website owners website then there is no products or services that are bought, booked, used or seen. So, in short, there are losses.

It is quite common for a website owner to be wondering... is the website down? But frankly, why should any business owner have to worry about such an occurrence? Well, more than likely it is because web servers can and will have software or hardware issues. It is just part of the cost of doing business.

But these business owners need to protect themselves. They need to be able to monitor the web site with some type of server monitoring tool. Now, this could confuse the average website owner since it is a bit technical and most owners may wonder how to go about doing any of this 'server monitoring' to begin with. Some also may think they can get some type of monitoring server software and then the problem is solved.

Well, this would help out a website owner a bit. But the problem is that the owner will have to install the software themselves on thier personal computer and leave it running 24/7/365 to be able to monitor their website.

The next logical step would be some type of remote computer monitoring to watch over their website server for them. This can be done with a remote monitoring service and is the best choice for most website owners. Because a service such as this will do nothing but check a clients website on a regular basis to make sure it is up and accessible and if it is not, the service will notify the client immediately.

There are companies that specialize in just this type of service. One of the best ones on the market to day is Remote Monitoring Services http://www.RemoteMonitoringServices.com. They'll watch over a website every hour, day and month of the year until you tell them not too. They have monitoring servers spread across the entire USA along with Australia and the UK as well.

This company has a simple philosophy of only charging clients for exactly what they have used for the month and nothing more. For example, if a website owner wants their website checked every 10 minutes to make sure it does not go down from any one of their monitoring locations around the world it will only cost them about $1.50 a month. But, this is only one of the many options that they have available to monitor a website at a cost effective price for.
