Does Host-Tracker.com really do 1-minute checks?
Hello everyone,
I registered an account a couple weeks ago at host-tracker.com to track uptime of my site, and I know it's best to check every minute. Host-Tracker seemed to be able to provide 1-minute checks with a free account (at least I didn't see anywhere to 'pay' for better service when I was registering)
So, I've been reading my email reports (all 100% so far - great) but I decided to take a closer inspection of the details this time. I noticed that, either I don't know how to find the appropriate information, or most of the servers listed were doing 2, 3, 5, 10, 30 minute checks, and one of the "status" links showed a 1-minute server "last checked 5 minutes ago"
This baffles me.. do they really offer 1-minute checks, or should I go elsewhere?
Edit:
This is not a mission-critical site, just a small personal hobby, so if I need an alternative I'd prefer a free, or very low-cost one to monitor only one site..Last edited by DarkRogue; 09-15-2006 at 11:07 PM.

Well even 2 minute intervals for checks is very very nice already for a free account I would try contacting them regarding this. If you want more reliable services though with 1 min checks gauranteed do check out alertra,hyperspin,siteuptime etc..

I definately recommend HyperSpin, we track our site using hyperspin, they're excellent for the money

Probably not ... Note that I am not tracking myself.
It is somebody tracking me, probably my clients
Says 1 min interval, but actually it is checking every 10 minutes.

Hmm..Well, I guess first I'll try sending an email to them and ask..
I'm not sure if I want to pay though, since I'm only monitoring a hobby site, but then again, for accuracy....then again....
