Monitor Service Descriptions

Server Advanced Monitor - This website monitoring service will monitor any type of server port and verify that it is responding to connection attempts. Unlike most server monitors that do an ICMP Ping of the network device, our service performs a much more advanced test that verifies that a specific port on the server is responding at the TCP protocol layer.

Website Standard Monitor - This website monitoring service is designed to test multiple pages on your website and verify that they are responding correctly by analyzing the server response and HTTP response. This service is recommended for monitoring web pages of moderate importance.

Website Advanced Monitor - This website monitoring service is designed to test multiple pages or forms on your website by analyzing the web server response, HTTP response, and physically validating the text on the page. To be absolutely certain that your pages are being displayed correctly, this service takes the extra precautionary measure of verifying a piece of text on your page that you predefine. If an error is encountered, this monitor will save an HTML screenshot of the website errors for you to review later. This service is recommended for monitoring web pages of average to high importance.
