Yes we do provide external monitoring for our services. For an additional $0.25/month you can purchase various checks for your service. Here is a listing of the checks provided (each check is $0.25/month and can only be used with our services):
- PING - Checks to see if your service IP or domain is responding to ping.
- HTTP - Checks to see if your IP or domain is returning a 200 (OK) code.
- HTTP Content - Checks your IP or domain for a specific word or phrase to make sure it is serving content correctly.
- IMAP - Checks that IMAP is running on your IP or domain.
- POP3 - Checks that POP3 is running on your IP or domain.
- MySQL - Checks that MySQL is running on your IP or domain.
- Port - Checks that a port is accessible on your IP or domain.
- SMTP - Checks that SMTP is running on your IP or domain.
- SSL - Checks that your SSL certificate is valid on your IP or domain and provides 7 day notice when it is about to expire.
All checks are in 1 minute intervals and utilize servers in North America (please open a ticket for Europe based monitoring). If a check fails, 5 other servers will re-check before an e-mail is sent out. Only 1 e-mail will be sent out upon failure and 1 e-mail will be sent out when the alarm is cleared. The e-mail you sign-up with will be the e-mail that will receive the alerts (please open a ticket if you would like to change the e-mail or add additional e-mails). SMS and voice alerts are also available upon request. A public report will also be provided.
We do not receive alerts for any external monitoring you purchase, only the contacts you specify will be alerted.
