How do you know when your server is down?

[arindamb]

You can not view your site all the day to see it when it is down by your hosting/server issue. Do you guys here using any free or paid services like Pingdom or something else to monitor your server uptime/downtime?
Just curious what tools do you use to get instant updates on the status of your server? How do you deal with this situation?

Hey,

Another option would be https://hetrixtools.com/; we currently utilize their Blacklist & Uptime monitoring tools... Pretty good so far; first decent company I found that is capable of watching all of our subnets.

Wow, I didn't know about them and they seem pretty good. The free account lets you monitor up to 5 websites, where many just allow 1 or 2 on free plans.

Thanks for the information.

You can try cloudstats, [URLnofo]https://cloudstats.me/[/URLnofo] which monitors the uptime and send the details.

You could use Nagios, or PRTG Network Monitor, both can be configured to send you emails, if your server is down

Panopta, AlertSite (SmartBear), Hyperspin, Site Uptime, Alertra and Binary Canary are some other services that are available to monitor your website.

You can use the tools from pingdom as well.

We use host-tracker.com and if you only have a few sites they have a free option where you can monitor 2 sites for free.

Try [URLnofo]https://nodequery.com[/URLnofo], so far it hasn't fail and pretty much give basic details you need most of the time, if server overloads or goes down you will get an email, up to 10 servers free super easy to install on any server / vps

First of all your site won't act right or won't load at all, try googling for better tools, don't go for the one that only tracks traffic.

we are using pingdom for tracking all the server activities. Somehow the downtimes can be measure by means of HTTPS socket check and give you an instant notification to your mail.

There are free services for this, as well as some paid options. Just sign up for one and most will send you email or text notifications when your site is down.

I have a WordPress site right now where I just set up JetPack and it tells me when my site is down and how long it was down for. Usually, it's only down for a brief moment. I do find the notifications to be useful though.
