Site24×7 Blogs

Author: Arun

We have added a new feature into Site24×7 due to popular demand. You can now get Site24×7 to monitor your web sites every minute or every 60 seconds.

This feature is available for all accounts - Standard, Premium and Evaluation.

How can one-minute monitoring help you?

If you monitor your websites every minute, there is a real good chance that you get to know when the downtime starts and when it ends.  You get instant notifications whenever any downtime is detected and also when the site comes back up.  If your website is checked every 60 seconds, you are much more likely to catch any downtime than any other monitoring resolution.  With 1-minute monitoring, you get more accurate uptime stats as well as a better perspective of your site’s downtime.

We believe this feature will come in handy for our users. Do give it a try and let us know your feedback.

Earlier this month, we’d answered some questions about the Site24×7 Premium account here in this blog. Today, we will discuss another set of questions and their answers here for the benefit of our readers.

How many monitoring locations are available for the Premium account? Where are these locations?

With the Premium account, you can monitor your website uptime from up to 6 different geographical locations. These locations include California, Houston, New Jersey, Netherlands, UK, and Singapore.

Where do I specify the monitoring locations for my website?

You can either specify the monitoring locations while creating a new website monitor or edit the monitor and specify monitoring locations later on.

What are primary and secondary locations?

A primary location is the monitoring server from which Site24×7’s monitoring checks will be send to your website as per the monitoring interval configured. When a website check from the primary location fails, the sites will be checked again from the secondary locations before downtime is reported.

For example, assume you have selected California as your primary location and Singapore and Netherlands as the secondary locations. The monitoring interval specified is 5 minutes. Your website will now be monitored from the California location every 5 minutes. If a website check from California fails, the website will be rechecked from Singapore and Netherlands locations also.

This concludes part 2 of this series. Stay tuned for more answers to common questions in our future posts. If any of your questions have not been covered here, feel free to visit the FAQ section of our website or contact our support.

We came across quite a few articles and blog posts about Site24×7 in recent times. Just wanted to share some of these articles with our readers.

The first article was found in blog.econsultant.com last week. This one has a pretty simplistic style. It is in a ‘problem definition and solution’ format.

A rather straightforward solution, isn’t it? Just a couple of lines and an image, but they do convey a lot.

Another article mentions about the Web Page analyzer tool of Site24×7. This one is in French and below is an excerpt of the same.

The article basically mentions about the WPA as an online tool to calculate the loading time of different objects on a website.
