Internet Status

I would like to know if there is a service

[KA_Curtis]

I recently went through about an hour of not being able to access my sites (and a lot of other sites). It wouldn't usually be an issue but I got a call from a client asking what was up. All I could say is "I don't know." I'm sure this reassured him... :)

Does anyone know of where I can go when this happens to find out if there is "hub" that is not responding on the Internet?

The only thing I could find through searching Google was the typical news services that deal mostly with headlines. What I'm looking for is a site that maybe gives the current status on hubs.

Thanks,
K

Hi,

I think you can find the service you require with InternetSeer they offer both a free service that emails you when there are any problems with pinging your site every few minutes, or by pinging more often with the paid service that offers text messages to mobiles, email and other ways of contacting you about the problem. They also offer with the paid service, contacting your server hosts directly and reporting any problems with suitable ways of sorting it out if necessary. I currently have the free service and find it really useful.

HTH,

Hi, I do have InternetSeer and I find it convenient for knowing when my site is down, but in this situation there was more than just my host that was affected. I couldn't connect to Webmasterworld, or a a bunch of other sites that I was going for information. It was like a large portion of the Internet was down.

What I would like is InternetSeer on a global or nation wide scale, minus the e-mail notification.

Thanks
