Live website monitoring with Site 24x7
Have you ever owned a website and decide to log on to one day to check it out, but can't because it's down? I have, and it's not cool. Especially since you have no idea how long it was down for, or what exactly happened.Enter Site 24x7, a website monitoring service that checks the online status of your web property 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Site 24x7 service is currently free during their beta phase, and will have special commercial versions available when it is out of beta.
