@Larry Both: Thanks for signing up. Unfortunate about that downtime, but we’re happy that our service could be of help.

I set up one of my sites to test out your service and wouldn’t you know, I had a tremendous server/hosting failure within the first 24 hours of my testing. Almost unbelievable. It gave me some good data to use for the first article on my new website where I explained about my experience with Pingdom so far, and what happened to me. (I’m talking a downtime of over 4 hours, for several sites…)

Thanks Pingdom:-)

Many hosting companies will send you an alert when your site goes down. But that alert only covers the situation where your site is completely offline. My commercial site requires several applications to perform all the functions for the user. One for database. One for PDF creation. One for RTF document creation. One of these application can go down with no alert message. It’s troubling. These sorts of issues take special diligence to stay on top of.
