Is there a service that monitors uptime?
I know that webhosts can subcribe to sites such as www.alertra.com , which monitors server uptime for the company. This is nice for comparing a companies "claimed" uptime versus it's actual uptime to see really how reliable they have been.
Is there any website that monitors network uptime of well known hosts of is something like Alertra rare and voluntarily done only by certain hosts?
Thanks,
Trip

This site pings your server every few mins www.easymonitor.com and its free.
Even emails you when its down. 100% uptime for me in the last 20 days I have been using it.

15 minutes is quite a large gap though =/
There are a few programs that you can download onto your PC which will make music go off, email people, popup, etc when a server goes down and moniter uptime/downtime for FREE

Oops. Let me clarify.
I guess I didn't get to the point enough. I was asking if there are any sites out there that list or publicize the uptime statistics for webhosts who register with that website?
Maybe for some companies this wouldn't be such a great idea, but still, just thought I would clarify.

That would be a great service if a site did something like that it would show real uptime stats.
Spose you could also prove your 99.99% uptime garentee.
I would like to see a site like that, let me know if you find any.

The netcraft graph only shows how long a server has been up before being restarted. It does not show network or server uptime.

Hey phpcoder, can you list these programs? I've been trying to find a good free one, but I've been unsuccessful.
If you can, thanks!

BTW, is there any way to do the following? if I have a computer with unlimited internet, is there any software pack that can "ping" continuously the site (without flooding it) and calculate the response time. No Ping, no good.

You would need to test it from a different locations, and ISP, counties, for that to work, but I know what your saying.

It will loop forever.

"Correct me if I am wrong, but that would only test the path between you and the server not the network itself"
Since the website I'm building would need to be accessed in my country (in Mauritius), it does make sense.

You can always try the uptime script that clook.net offers - http://scripts.clook.net . I have a running example (that had been taken offline for a few weeks) at http://www.ukee.com/status/ .

This looks like a pretty good one, man. So...what happens when the site is completely down for awhile? How will it monitor itself? How many resources and how much space does it take?

It's actually pretty cool, but I'm not going to log the downtime. I just want an email when it does happen...just because. I wonder...can I run this on my computer or something? I'm running the WebWatchBot 30-day trial right now, but I think this would be a little better.

If I had another server, I'd do this...but I don't. Can you add btvillarin.com to your list? (j/k)Bryan Villarin

I think the best option is to colocate in a datacenter with professionals that monitor your servers for uptime.

Really? Cool...thanks!
And BTW, if you were still going to use that script, just add my name and IP address in the config file.
Thanks Matt!
