I use Pingdom "Pro" (or whatever the paid version is to be branded as), and I think it is fantastic. It is yet to let us down or misinform us. It'll be interesting to see whether we see quality dilution from the inevitable rush of freebie accounts.
Pingdom vs Others - Monitoring Uptime Tools So i looking to buy a quality and reliable uptime monitoring service. I have been testing PingDom free trial, and all the reports went fine. Also the interface is good looking and as public reports to show to clients.
So in terms of use and fuctions, Pingdom is perfect for me, but i wanted to know if Pingdom is a quality / rock-solid / reliable service? Or its just has a beutiful interface?
Any bad or good experiences with Pingdom?
Note: From many other posts i see that Alertra is a quality and reliable service.
So when comparing to PingDom will Alertra be much more reliable?
any recommendations for a website availability monitoring service? That is, I'd like a service that checks my site regularly, say every 5 minutes, and then calls my cellphone /txts-me if it ever goes down.
Googling around turns up a sizable number of places that do this. But, I'd like to make I'm going with somebody who's reasonably good.
This one should be easy for all the dedicated experts here in WHT. I have a dedicated server that I use for streaming and would like to monitor how much bandwidth I use (on a daily basis).
Windows Media Services would be the application that uses considerable bandwidth. So may be a plug in for that? I am looking for something free.
My question is, what is a good free server monitoring tool that is external. By that I mean software I install on my computer and I can view from my server from my pc. I hope that makes sense it does to me.
my dedicated server have a remot reboot panel and i want company monitor my server with less than $10 per month until my server if goes down reboot it from my panel...
Is there any third party free VPS internet connection monitoring service that notifies when there is no internet connection?... I know there are lots of website uptime montioring services.... but I use VPS for using windows applications and no web page and I need to know if there is an internet connection failure...... Is there any third party service that checks this and it will not be hosted by me but the service ?.... I need to know when there is a fialure in the internet connection... It can ping or use other ways...
Another thing I am looking for is a software that notifies me by email when the windows VPS is restarted without my attendance....
any free scripts that allow you to monitor uptime status of your servers, local/remote?
most simplistically, just have one server that pings / http requests from other servers to see if they're online, and generates stats.
more ideally, be able to set up multiple checking nodes (like what host-tracker does) so it can check uptime of multipel servers from multiple locations and build reports.
I've been trying to find a decent and reasonably priced website/server monitoring service that alerts me by SMS and email if something goes down. I have 3 HTTP addresses and one HTTPS I'd like to check in 5 minute intervals.
Have you had any good experiences with services like this?
We have a community website and would like to integrate a messenger service into it so users can IM each other, preferably having audo and video capability.
There are a couple of providers like userplane and toksta that offer them for free. but wanted to know if there are any others that you know of as I would like to compare features and select the most reliable.
Does anyone know if there is a company or a program that would allow me to setup free email for users using my domain name? Say if I wanted to be my own gmail or hotmail - maybe on a much smaller scale at first?
In the event of hosting a web program, who is responsible for the security, ie against hackers, virus and the like. Is it the hosting company or the program developer or the person running the website? Also, what is the best thing to do, with personal computers there's anti virus software, but what about the case of an entire website, do anti virus software companies have solutions for entire websites?
*My computer is a computer of a 500 computers network within our company.
* i have been given a STATIC local intranet ip 192.168.10.168 assigned by our IT department via their router.
* i have the internet facility provided through the above mentioned intranet for which i get a dynamic ip ex: 188.54.208.205, 176.44.107.21
* i have installed WAMP server.
my current project for the company i am doing should be able to access via internet in addition to the local access. local access is the primary access method. so now i have installed a free dns service like dyndns. at the setup of that, i have choosen a free subdomain ex: my.freedns.com they offer. then i assigned the ip ex:188.54.208.205. also installed their desktop client for monitoring ip changes auto updates.
Now the problem is : when i hit my.freedns.com the page displaying is of our internet service provider. not of my project homepage . How can i fix so when i issue above subdomain it will show my webserver default page?Â
if there is a hosting company which provides free SEO tools or other web site promotion services for its customers. I know the companies which provide their customers with free domains if they buy their hosting, but I have never heard of hosting companies which provide free website promotion services for their clients, do such companies exists?
How would I go about creating my own website for free forum hosting? You know, sites such as ProBoards and Forumer. A site where someone can fill in some information (name, URL, e-mail, etc.) and instantly have their own phpBB, IPB, or MyBB forum.
I could host it, but I don't understand how to make it so right when they click submit it creates them a forum. If someone could point me in the right direction or link me to a tutorial (which I doubt exists),
I have a busy dating website with 30 000 registered users and ~200-600 users online all the time. I would like to offer free email with ~10 MB mailbox to all users.
I have an idea to use scripts provided by b1gmail.de. Its similar to Hivemail or Socketmail. It uses only one POP3 catch-all mailbox and stores all emails in MySQL database, including attachments.
My worries are about MySQL. If I have 30 000 users and each user has some 5000 messages in his/her mailbox: 30 000 x 5 000 = 150 000000
That's 150 million rows in one table!
I know, not all users will have 50000 messages in their mailboxes, but the number of users increases about +2000/month.
I can't imaggine how long time will need MySQL to find messages for each user in the table with 150 000000 rows.
I don't know - maybe it's not a problem at all. I just never had such large tables and I don't know if it's possible at all.
Another problem: I have Fedora Core 2 installed and even don't know yet if it supports files larger than 2 GB.
Maybe it's better to set-up normal POP3 mailboxes for all users instead of using one catch-all box and storing data in MySQL?
do not post warnings about spammers. In the beginning I'll provide email addresses only to "gold" members. I opened this thread because I don't want to set-up a system which will hang after a couple of months because MySQL will not be able to handle it or I will have other unknown problems.
Which of these two do you think is more reliable? We have been using hyperspin for the last two years, but right now are looking to switch to pingdom due to their pricing. They offer 1 minute monitoring at only $0.5/month, compared to $12/month with hyperspin. I have been testing pingdom over the last two weeks, and they seem to be quite reliable.
Myname.com is a very popular website and his content mirrors in 2servers (Server A and Server B) in 2 different datacenters (exactly same content).
When Server A fails due to datacenter or rack problem and no site is responding, then I need some service to transfer ALL traffic to server B. Is there any (paid or free) service doing such a thing? If yes, what about dns propagation? As far as I am concerned, dns propagation is a very slow procedure depending on each internet provider.
So how could we instantly make Server B to come live to ALL visitors? Is there any quick and reliable dns redundancy system without having to wait for dns propagation?
I have a problem with my linux server using plesk 12x, I am using postfix as the email service, all emails are working from the webmail (horde) and from any email client using smtp.However the service is not working from the website (contact form on Wordpress) nor through the ssh commands. I have searched for few days but I still seem to have an issue.
