Don’t Get Caught with Your Blog Pants Down

Posted by John Saddington on Jan 20, 2009

aremysitesup_homeOr, don’t get caught for long.

The world isn’t perfect. That’s obvious. It’s strange that we should expect our hosting services to be perfect… right?

Well, the plain and simple fact is that they aren’t. Things break and things go bad. Sites even go down, even the big ones… even yours.

So make sure you know when your ministry site, organization website, and/or blog is down as fast as possible with AreMySitesUp.com.

Best part of the service? Built in SMS Text message to your phone when it goes black. That’s awesome.

Now I know that some larger providers give you this information when your site goes down.  By all means, use them!

But, I’ve found that many well-known hosting providers never tell you when your site (or their servers) get hosed.

So it’s up to you amigos. Stay in the know, and don’t get caught with your blog pants down.

    Thanks for sharing this, although there are days when if my site was down, it could be classified as a mercy killing.

    Awe man you beat me to it. I was going to blog about this, but life hindered me. Great post. I have been using this since about the launch. It works well, but sometimes the emails are delayed, anyhoo, it works.
