Running An Internet Business Is Not Easy To Do And Hard Work As Well!

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 27, 2011 ) Oakdale, MN -- When it comes to running an internet business it can be a tough job for anyone. After all, the majority of the jobs that need to be done have to be done by yourself. But sometimes things get over looked that can cause losses of time and money and that would be when a website crashes.

Well, the fact of the matter is that a great number of websites go down on a regular basis and the website owner is none the wiser. Websites are located at hosting companies on their web servers. These servers tend to have problems from time to time. These problems can be software or even hardware related in nature.

Regardless of the cause, websites will go down and the owner will end up losing money because of it. Now, a site owner can cut down the risk of losing their cash flow. But in order for that to happen they need a site monitor. What this requires is 'monitoring as a service' which means a company that has a server monitor that does nothing but watch their website to make sure it is always up and not down.

This is done by the service doing a port check every so many minutes for confirmation if the site is up or down. A port is basically something that the operating system for the web server assigns to the website. For example, port 80 is the common port that is assigned to a website. So, when a browser like internet explorer or firefox is trying to access a website it accesses the website by default using port 80 to be able to view the website.

There is a company that will do website monitoring for you and they are called Remote Monitoring Services which is at: http://www.RemoteMonitoringServices.com. They will watch over a website and check it as often as an owner would like them to do so. They have monitoring locations located on the east coast, west coast and the midwest of the United States. They also have international monitoring servers that are located in the United Kingdom and Australia as well.

The company believes in only charging a website owners for exactly what they have used of their services. For example, if a site owner wishes to have their website monitored every ten minutes from any one of their server locations around the world, it will cost them about $1.50 a month. This is just one of the many options they have available to monitor a website at an affordable price.
