Around one or two weeks ago Techofy was Down due to Godaddy, When my site was not accessible from anywhere one of my friend informed me that Techofy is down. So after this accident i decided to have an uptime monitoring service. So done search on Internet about an best uptime monitoring service them i came to know that Pingdom is one of the best uptime monitoring service with lots of features and quick alerts.
But Pingdom is not free service it cost around $84 for 1 Year. But i was in need of free monitoring, i done a Google search with Keyword “free Pingdom“, I was surprised that Pingdom it self offering free accounts for everyone.
How To Get free Pingdom Account
- Go to this URL https://www.pingdom.com/free/ .
- Now enter your email address and Password in given fields and click Signup free button.
- Now Pingdom will send you email to your email address, open email and click on varification link.
- After completing email verification, go to pingdom website and login with your email and password.
What you get with Free Pingdom account.
- You can monitor 2 websites.
- You will get free email alert when your site goes down.
- You 20 free SMS alerts for website downtime.
If you look better via the Interent you will find much better solutions which more opportunities for monitoring e.g. Anturis. Pingdom offers to monitor only two sites, but it not enough and their alerts are not so comfortable.
Yes @dowsonlittlerock:disqus you are right that there are many services available which provide similar service. But Pingdom is one of known and good monitoring service that’s why i thought to write about this.
