When you are in the internet business you have probably asked yourself about monitoring your service. Or you faced speed and uptime problems with your server, scripts and hardware. From this point you should think about service wich will monitor your network. I think many businessmen had such experience i described before.
So there are many network monitoring services. Some of them are free, some are paid. Free network monitoring services usually ask to place their logo and a link to their main website to get high rankings in search engines. Free services are always limited. You can not use all features to monitor your network. And usually in some months you will change your free subscription to paid.
Paid network monitoring services like Dotcom Monitor offers a ful range of network monitoring tools. Just take a look: File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server monitoring, Video Streming Monitoring, POP3 and SMTP monitoring, DNS monitoring, port monitoring, UDP monitoring and etc.
Why do I write about Dotcom Monitor? I signed up for paid subscription 3 years ago. And i found it very helpful for my business. I manage VPS server and some websites located on shared hosting platforms. My VPS are down twice or more time in a month because of overloading... There is no reason to change it to more expensive one because it happens as i told 2-3 times in a months. Being registered with Dotcom Monitor I get down alerts by sms and email in time. So it takes 10-15 minutes to restart my VPS and bring it back to life :)
So my example can be very descriptive and the reason to start monitor your websites now. Hope you will save your uptime in many times and as a result your income (profit) too.
