Siteuptime or Uppanel? Siteuptime giving fasle downtimes.
Hello,
Anyone using siteuptime seem to be getting and false downtime issues, cause site uptime just gave me 2 false downtimes. Did anyone else have issues with siteuptime and how reliable is it (siteuptime.com) . Plus i am thinking of changing to uppanel.com is that reliable or any other free uptime monitioring services exists?. I will contact siteuptime now asking for when the dowtime was reported cause i am pretty sure i have not rebooted apache or the server itself.

Ok got reply from siteuptime that they do not offer such services on free acounts so i got confirmation from steadfast that their network was down for a few minutes. So i guess will stick with siteuptime for a while longer, but host-tracker seems to be little bulky dont u think?

I have used both siteuptime and uppanel. Have found that siteuptime is much much more reliable. There are instances where I would be browsing my own site and at the same time getting reports from uppanel that my site is down. Weird but true.

Siteuptime is inaccurate (a few of our resellers gave up on it after it regularly reported downtime that never occured).
Uppanel is also inaccurate (missed a 37 min outage).
Webhostingstuff seems to be off by 2hours/month, they seem to be so inconfident in their own tracking that they correct their results if you contact them.
For quality: Alertra and Websitepulse are very accurate.ReflexNetworks means Happy Clients!

I am currently using uPanel and things are working fine for me, although I have only been using this service for approximately 2 months. I haven't had any problems with them thus far.

i have actually been doing some experimenting with uppanel, i decided to monitor 2 sites on the same server to see what happens, and sometimes i get 1 site down and sometimes the other, which i don't understand why really (am going to try hyperspin now )

sfx i think hyperspin is good , but i do not see any detailed reports with hyperspin or a better visible uptimes its a single row stating everything in that one table made up of 2 rows .
But otherwise i think hyperspin good.
Edit: hyperspin.com doesnt seem to be opening, any else having same issues?Last edited by Energizer Bunny; 02-02-2006 at 06:21 PM.

I use SiteUptime and have not had any problems. I think I am going to try out Hyperspin.

I used SiteUpTime last year and they had the same problems then. I tried to tell them that their algorithm for detecting downs would always produce a lot of false downs, but evidently they still don't seem to care.
The problem they had is that they monitor your server with five other servers. If only one of their servers shows a down, then it's reported as a down. This is at least absurd. Plus, the more servers they monitor you with, the more false downs you'll have.
They need to scrap their 'site down = yes' algorithm and put in at least:
If 4 out of 5 servers = "down"
THEN; server down = "yes"
The only question there should be is:
Should it be ALL the servers saying 'down' to classify as a real down?
What if one server is getting through???
Nice to see some alternatives listed here; I'll have to check them out. Thanks.

Also, what uptime providers have either a basic free service or will allow a trial of their service?
I'd like to have two different services report to a program that only sends a down report if BOTH services call a down. SiteUpTime was such a bad experience that I had to call them every month and show them logs so they'd erase my false downs.
I'll give them that, though; they did go in and take care of the false downs ... but it was still just too much to continue on with them.
Thanks again,

Ok i can now safely confirm that site uptime gives false output as i had only small 15 mins outage due to some service failure and is clearly shown by hyperspin records but siteuptime cared to show 2 downtimes even though its set to monitor for 30 mins interval. So i would be shifting to hyperspin full time soon. Siteuptime no good i have proof now .

We use siteuptime and have done since July. No problems at all. We havent had any downtime and siteuptime hasnt reported any. So for free I think its fine... ofcourse alertra is supposed to be much better but it isnt free.

andren,
You say uppanel missed a 37 min outage? What was the time period set to for checking and what port was it checking?
