Looking for a few thing like server Status but still can't find many for Windows. I was looking over cosmotek.net and they have some cool ones there. Like these:
http://www.cosmotek.net/network/status.asp

We ar elooking for osme thing simple like this that can Ping other sites around the net to show Packet loss if any. Would also like to be able to have it Ping our other servers to show that they are up. If any one know where i could find this or could make would be very cool..


P.S if there is some hting all ready out there plese post a link as i have looked all over aspin.com
Thanks

We use Servers Alive for our active monitoring (www.serversalive.com). We have 2 SA boxes running, each over separate DSL lines from different locations, and they each monitor all of our servers every 5 minutes (theoretically they alternate so we actually get monitoring every 2.5 minutes - but due to occasional reboots and DSL downtime the schedules are a little skewed now so it's not that specific after 2 years).

SA does just about everything we need - it e-mails and pages people if a server is down, and we can even set it up to upload a status web page that we can use on our web site for a real-time server status information (we haven't implemented this yet - not because it isn't working in Servers Alive but rather because of design issues with our current web site).

It's an excellent solution, and we've been very pleased.

Thanks for the info on that one.

That was a little more then i was looking fo really. I just want a simple ASP page to do the work more less ping what hosts or IP's i have set more less. :)

BTW: I see you guys do only windows hosting do you use any kind of control panel yet. We have been using Hostingcontrol.com but man it kind of sucks at times..LOL
