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?

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.

Are there any tools out there that can monitor the uptime of my server (of my websites)?
Maybe an application that keeps pinging it throughout the day or some type of web-service?

Can you please tell me any free server/ services monitoring tools available.
I would prefer third party services rather than installing something on the servers unless its the only option

At the NOC I work at we use HP SIM. It's hosted on a central management server (CMS) and monitors the few hundred HP servers that we have in our DC. We also use MOM 2005 and TEC.
Question is, how would HP SIM work for my own single server setup, just to monitor for hardware issues, disk failures and such? Do I need to hook into a CMS server or can it be run standalone?
I guess same question applies to Dell OpenManage. Curious how these work if I just have the one server to keep an eye on?
Also I had a company install Zabbix agent on my server. They were monitoring my server from their "host" server. This company decided to disappear so now I have Zabbix agent installed, but no host server to login to to collect the data. Any idea if this can be run on a single server setup, or should I look for another "host" to monitor my server via Zabbix?

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?

Does websites uptime monotoring tools and services like for example: pindom, siteuptime or host-tracker can in any way affect the server or vps performance of the website being monitor.
I think that a Monitor service that do a test every 30 minutes dont cause any inpact, but if the interval on check test is every 1 minute.
Can this every minute check affect in any way the performance of a server or vps?

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.

I am using PayPal's IPN to set up hosting accounts. It works fine if the user is setting up a domain such as name.com, but if they are using a subdomain from the hosting, such as subdomain.hosting.com, it fails to work. Here is the code I am using ...

There are some great tools to optimize MySQL, however I have not been able to find the equivalent for Apache + PHP. I have a lot of experience tweaking these two in extreme traffic environments, but there is no beating a program that can simultaneously evaluate several inputs over time to calculate optimal settings.

I have a CentOS dedicated server that does not have gcc,make,other standard develomplent tools installed. The provider adamantly refuses to offer any assistance citing terms of the contract.
Being a newbie in running servers I have trouble finding binary form of packages matching the version of my OS and pre-installed libraries.
Obviously I cannot compile anything without a compiler (including the compiler itself!).
I have downloaded the centos distro, and mounted iso on my server, but that was wrong version. Turns out the right release is only available via bittorrent - which I again cannot install without gcc.
What is "industry standard" for dedicated Linux servers in this respect: do providers typically pre-install tools like gcc? or they leave users figure that out on their own?

When using domaintools.com to see what sites are on a server, sometimes it says dedicated server. Does this mean that there may be several sites on that server and it is just that the domaintools.com service cannot find out what the others are?

Lots of things have improved in the last 5 or so years with regards to hosting.. faster hardware, improved control panels, cheaper bandwidth.. but the ability to keep your eye on your box whilst out and about is definitely amongst them I'd say.
So share your tech tips for when you're not at your desktop for monitoring your sites.
Key hardware: My iPhone. 3G is prevalent in my locality, but the deal on o2 means I also get free access to the two largest UK public wifi hotspots - TheCloud and BT OpenZone. Whilst some of these are free anyway (such as ones in pubs) being able to walk through town whilst on a wifi connection can be really useful if the 3G is lagging or just not there.
Software:
Pingdom - It's not the flashiest of all apps, but it tells you what you need to know - is the server up?! It'll echo all your reports for all servers into one quick and easy screen. I really hope Pingdom puts even more time and effort into this, it could make the service unbeatable with a few more features. The app is free too, which is a bonus.
TouchTerm - there's a bunch of SSH clients for the iPhone out there, I've not had chance to try any of the others but will do at some point. All my accounts are bookmarked in and I can replicate whatever I need to with ease. I've installed software and configured it with relative ease just using the touch keypad. It was either free or at most a dollar or two.
iStat - The software/server combination used to be Mac only but someone has ported the server side over to *nix now and it runs pretty well. I'm having issues with one of my boxes showing it's bandwidth usage but I'll look more into that. Live CPU/Memory figures AND graphing?! Very impressive, and if you're doing face to face with your client it's bound to be a good thing to show off (make sure it's working first tho!!). It was £1.19/$1.99 on promotion when I bought it, should still be for a little more.
Critical email accounts IMAP'd - all my key accounts are on 15minute checks, and I'll be making an emergency PUSH account for when time is very much of the essence. Having instant access to email is absolutely essential on a handheld device these days, and the iPhone does a pretty neat job of it.
EverNote - great note syncing between various boxes. No more having to ring people to jump on my laptop to read me out an IP address or similar ever again.

I've got a housed server within my customer's datacenter. I consider application runs ok, but it goes very slow.
I consider it's due to their connection (DSL) and installed another provisional server with a simple "Hello World" and no traffic. I'm to install the same server within another datacenter, and would like to find an external tool to certify connectivity times.
Do you know any of these tools? I'm not searching tools like 'Apache AB' or 'HP httperf', but public online services.
