So, you've probably spent weeks and months diligently putting your website together with everything from your latest brand information to ecommerce sales. You probably think that you can relax a bit now and let the website do all the work. Uh-huh? That's a really dangerous thing to do. If something goes wrong with your website and there is downtime, you might not just lose a few sales while it isn't working. There's little more frustrating for the potential customer than a website that doesn't work efficiently and, chances are, those people won't be back. Pingometer is a top notch website monitoring application that keeps an eye on the inner workings of your site in real-time and informs the correct people when something stops working. Pingometer is a simple-to-use application that monitors the uptime, downtime and overall performance of your website in real-time. You can monitor anything whether it be HTTP, HTTPS, RUM (Real User Monitoring,) DNS, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, TCP and UDP services and it performs these checks continuously from various locations around the world. At present, there are locations in Australia, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Japan, Holland, UK and US. You can also get live data from actual visitors to your site as well as setting custom ports, queries, data matching, SSL verification, sensitivity levels, escalation procedures and more. The big difference between this and similar apps, however, is that Pingometer allows you to nominate the right people in your organization to receive the notifications and via the method of their choice. They can select email, text, voice, Twitter or web hook and set a specific on or off duty schedule so the problem can be sorted out straight away. What's more, if an outage occurs, it is always confirmed before an alert is sent out - so unnecessary callouts are avoided - and for each outage, you'll get a traceroute to see what exactly went wrong. Pingometer provides detailed charts and graphs so you can easily see any trends in availability, checks, events and response time and export everything whether it be via CSV, PDF, or PNG. Website monitoring is a bit like insurance for your site. You hope it will never be needed but, the fact is, there are always a few teething problems for websites - especially new ones. Pingometer not only let's you know straight away but also diverts the problem to the relevant person or department so that the fault can be rectified immediately - saving time, money and the frustrations of potential customers. It also only presents you with only the true issues rather than every single anomaly and slight glitch that your site might encounter. There are a number of different pricing plans - depending on your individual needs, ranging from US$19 per month to US$199. There's also a 30-day money back guarantee if you aren't fully satisfied. Whether you are a new startup or a business that is looking to better monitor its websites, Pingometer could well be the one you are looking for.
