UptimeSpy Launches Free Worldwide Geographic Website Monitoring Service

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (October 30, 2008)—UptimeSpy (http://www.uptimespy.com) today launched the industry’s first free comprehensive geographic website monitoring services, offering fully featured, no limits website monitoring from node locations around the world – all absolutely without charge.

The new service allows webmasters to monitor the performance of their sites and receive instant text message or email alerts if downtime is detected. UptimeSpy’s network of international monitoring nodes helps eliminate false alarms and allows the system to determine which geographical regions are affected by downtime or slow performance. This sensitivity allows webmasters to isolate problems more easily.

To get started with UptimeSpy, users simply create a free account and add as many domains or IP addresses as they would like to be monitored. Within their personalized control panel, users can configure individual node ping time sensitivity, alert methods, service types, monitoring intervals, and more.

In addition to personalized monitoring services, UptimeSpy offers a unique metrics portal that publicly displays the performance of leading Web hosting providers. The Host Metrics portal displays speeds for ping response, HTTP response, and average uptime as a percentage. The statistics allow users to verify or dispute the published guarantees of their Web host, and request SLA compensation.

“We’ve developed a monitoring service that offers world-class features and no usage limits for our users. By integrating UptimeSpy’s monitoring network with a real-time Host Metrics portal, we are able to serve both our users and the hosting community as a whole, all free of charge,” said Chris Henning, developer of the site.

UptimeSpy also provides HTML code for a real-time button displaying the average uptime statistic.
