Why Web-Based Server Monitoring?

Often, your servers appear to be working just fine from within your office.  You can retrieve web pages, e-mail appears to function and more.

What's more important, however, is if your site is accessible from the rest of the world.  1stWarning is a web monitor, which means no false positives and no software to install.  If your site is down, we'll let you know.

Professional Services   > Learn more
  • Select from 2 minutes to 60 minutes between tests.
  • Checks any number of protocols.
  • Unlimited alerts via e-mail, pager or pager gateways.
  • Weekly summary reports on downtime.
  • Historical performance statistics.
Regional Monitoring
  • We monitor your site from geographically disparate locations in the U.S. and U.K.  This ensures that a local internet outage in one region will not produce a false alert.  Another way we prevent false alerts is to retry the tests multiple times over a two-minute period.  This eliminates alerts for short-term problems.
Document Downtime for Service Level Agreements (SLA)
  • For those with service level agreements (SLA), you can now document the full extent of downtime to request a refund from your internet service provider.
Measure your QOS - Quality of Service
  • Measure aspects of your quality of service (qos) by recording response times, latency variations, and downtime.  See if there are times during the day your response time is too slow.  We provide several historical reports on connection frequency and response times.
Monitor Multiple Protocols
  • With our service, you can monitor multiple services on the same server in case any one of them goes down.  For example, you can set up your account to measure HTTP, SMTP, DNS, POP3, HTTPS, ping, or even customize your setup for other ports not listed.  This allows notifications to occur if any one or more of the services goes down.



Pricing is based on how often your server is monitored.  It starts at $9.95/month.
