Do you become aware of problems with your site only from the reaction of indignant clients or extreme drop in sales?
With the HostTracker you are the first to know about any fault that may occur!
How does our Service Work?
We have several monitoring points all over the world. Once you are registered with the service and the parameters of the monitoring are set, our system starts checking the specified resource periodically, and, should an access error occur, your site will be checked by all other monitoring points; should these attempts fail, you will immediately be notified of the problem by an e-mail or SMS message.
Using several monitoring points eliminates the chance of false alarms, i.e. when access problems are caused not by your resource, but by the lack of proper connection between our system and your site. When an error is detected, the system keeps checking the status of the resource and as soon as it becomes accessible again, a message about its restored functionality and the time of unavailability is sent to you.
Why Do You Need It?
Stability is one of the main image constituents, thus operation stability and accessibility of your site is part and parcel of your company’s image. Prompt response to any contingency allows for minimizing downtime for both your site and your business.

To Promo-Site Owners
For a company with a representative site, the site itself is an integral part of the company’s image. A slight instability in its work can result in the image deterioration and the loss of present and potential clients.
To On-line Shop and Web-Service Owners
Companies, selling goods and services via their sites, are especially sensitive even to short-term failures and downtimes; in addition to destroying the company’s image, these events also cause considerable financial losses.
To Hosting Providers
One of the most customer attracting characteristics of a hosting-providing company is its uptime, the parameter indicating the accessibility of this particular provider’s servers. In this case, our service can be very useful as the source of independent analysis of your sites’ accessibility.
Detailed statistics accumulated through monitoring one or more of your sites, can be made “open” to public and help your prospective clients estimate the stability and quality of the service, you provide.
To Minor-Site Owners
A small- or medium sized company may find it more profitable to lease some space for the site from a professional hosting company. Unfortunately, sometimes the main page phrase “Our servers’ uptime is 99.999%” conceals the real facts. We can provide you with objective information on the hosting company’s operation and help you avoid any unpleasant surprises afterwards, for example, when the provider’s server is down and you cannot do anything about it. You don’t want to lose control of the situation, do you? The data you receive using our service can determine precisely whether you are going to work with this particular hosting or you should be urged to look for another one.
