You have discovered from potential customers and link partners that your website is not always available. You complain to your web hosting company but they quickly check it out and because the problem is intermittent, they report that everything appears fine and the problem must be on your end. To determine the culprit, you need to monitor your website against other high quality websites such as Yahoo for availability. If your website is the only website with issues, you can probably dismiss your Internet service provider as the problem. In other words, you are not having connection problems because of poor Internet service and the problem is not on your end. There are many online services and software programs that will continually monitor your website for availability. Easy Web Page Watcher is one such software program that will monitor your website for availability by downloading your web pages at a set rate, say every thirty seconds. It will keep a running count of the number of successful and unsuccessful downloads. In addition it will timestamp and log each unsuccessful download so that you will have an idea of the intermittent nature of the problem. Be sure to setup the program to watch one of your larger web pages as well as one of your simpler web pages so as to be able to determine if your web hosting companys server is too slow for larger web page downloads, causing your web browser to time out. In other words losing connection because your web hosting company server is too slow. If there are problems when monitoring even your simpler web pages then this also eliminates any question that the problem is caused by improperly written complex web pages. Armed with this information, you can now tell your web hosting company that you have monitored the availability of your web pages and report how often and when they are down. You can also report that you can continually access other websites without problems and do not have any Internet service issues on your end. If they cannot solve the problem, then it may be time to find another web hosting company.About the Author:
