How recently was you monitoring the personal website (and also servers and network)? Do you scheduling your website monitoring tasks in some mater? Can you be sure your website is servicing at the moment? Now I forespeak that you are executing your browser, entering the URL and watching if the website is still available. Looks like everything is good… But maybe the web-page is just found in the browser cache? Doing a full reload… Phew, lucky today! But can you be sure it was responding yesterday, last week, or last month? Every provider will grant you a 99.9% uptime. Well, I bet you would prefer to know that guaranteed.

Imagine that your prospective customers opening your website but it is accidentally down. They look at strange error string or simply empty page. How do you think, how many of them will slip away and will never visit again? Well, maybe some of them will do another attempt. But anyway, people would rather do their purchases on the steady and safe websites. Whenever you are doing any kind of network business, you better be sure, your visitors can reach your server and get data, services, or products they are looking for. Any unnoticed fail leads to loss of clients that, in its turn, leads to loss of business.

Someone can say that it is life, everything happens, and you cannot entirely avoid downtimes. This is half-way correct. You can not totally elude them, but you can definitely minimize them! The earlier you get information about the problem, the earlier you can take some action to correct it. Notify your website provider, review some network services, etc.

For this purpose, you may want to use ProtoMon. This is a server monitoring software designed to automatically check your network, servers and website periodically and in no time advise you when some problems occurred. It takes only a few minutes to download, install, configure, and start using this website monitoring utility.

You can create the checks of the different kinds to do monitoring tasks for all aspects of your server. As a first step you may wish to add a ping monitor. This allows you to feel certain that the host network system is reachable. Website monitor (HTTP monitor) can connect to the web server, download the specified web page and optionally check its content with the powerful filters with the support of the boolean expressions. By the way, ProtoMon can use the proxy server, and connect to the secured zones of the network. Also you may want to check your file server using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocols. And control your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to ensure that you can get e-mail letters from your visitors and they can get your answers.

ProtoMon can start the scripts on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then receive and analyze their output. This allows you to check almost each aspect of your server including the CPU load, memory usage and so on.

When any error happened, the monitoring program will let you know by showing the pop-up message, playing some sound file, starting any script or URL, or sending a notification email message to the selected addresses.

This network monitoring software saves full monitoring statistics of every monitor on your PC. You may look at it when you need, with a handy viewer which includes a well-looking graph which supports zooming and panning and detailed notes for even better handiness. Also you may wish to enable the built-in web server to connect to ProtoMon from your network, and see the monitor statuses, failure list and statistics with your favorite web browser.
