TECH Website Monitoring

[Ev0lv3]

Lookin for something for monitoring, preferably free. Like software for a puter, online services are good to, ie: ones that check from more than one location. And one that has notifications.

Just wondering what ot'rs use?

I've been using the free plans from Pingdom and are my sites up for a while. At the free level, there have been some rare times when they are an hour or so late in reporting, but overall Pingdom has been more reliable.

I signed up for this one, can't figure out to add a sms address though, as you choose your provider and nothing else happens. lol

Looks promising so far.

Yes, you're right. I used firefox and it worked this time! Perfect.
