This short article shows you how server monitoring can help you succeed online.
1. You know your site is down before your customers do
Nothing is more embarrassing than a customer calling you asking why your website doesn't work - if they call at all. A website monitoring service alerts you as soon as it detects an error so that you can react immediately - for example by calling your host - before your customers notice the error.
2. Server monitoring saves you money
Some web monitoring firms charge for their service - but consider it an investment: It could cost you a lot of money if your site goes down without you noticing. On the web most customers have a short attention span: If they try to reach your site and it can't be opened most of them don't come back later - they simply try another site.
3. You get informed about link errors
Nobody has time to constantly check their website: A good network monitoring service will not only check if your site is up but it will also let you know if there are any problems with your internal links - for example if there are dead links or database errors.
4. It can help you make a decision about your webhosting provider
If your site goes down several times a day you might have to talk with your webhosting provider - or consider changing providers. You might not notice these errors without an uptime monitoring service.
5. Some server monitoring services are even free
OK, I admit it - here comes a shameless plug for my own monitoring service. But I guess it's not too bad - because it's completely free - there is no paid option. And it even checks your internal links for errors.
