Free services to monitor the uptime of multiple websites

You can’t keep an eye on all of your websites every minute of every day no matter how hard you try. Luckily there are free services out there that will monitor the uptime of your websites for you and let you know when one of your websites goes down. Most website monitoring services only allow you to monitor one website for free, but these great services below allow you to monitor multiple websites for free.

Whether you have a blog with daily readers or an online shop where you sell products, when your website goes down you often don’t know about it until an angry customer or client tells you about it. That’s why it’s important to monitor your website, so at least you’ll know when your site goes down before everyone else. It’s also a good way to see how reliable your web host is, if your website is down more than it’s up then it might be a good idea to try another web host. At the moment I’m using Media Temple who have great customer support and are quite reliable so far, although I have had a few short periods where my site was down, but I guess this is just the reality of web hosting.

    Lots of these website monitoring services only let you monitor 1 website for free but I thought these ones were particularly good because they let you monitor multiple websites for free. 🙂
