How recently did you check the personal website (and also network services and servers)? Are you scheduling your website monitoring jobs in any way? Do you believe your website is functioning at this moment? Now I suppose that you are executing your browser, pasting the URL and watching if it is still there. Seems like the things are okay… Well maybe the page was just saved in the Firefox cache? Lets do a full refresh… Phew, lucky today! But can you be convinced it was up yesterday, two weeks ago, or past month? Most providers promise you a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Well, I bet you would like to know that for sure.

Imagine that your prospective customers coming to your website when it’s unexpectedly not available. They see complicated error string or even blank page. How do you suspect, how much of customers will slip away and will never browse again? Well, maybe some of them will try again later. But anyway, people like to make their purchases on the reliable and secure websites. When you are running any type of web-oriented business, you better be sure, your clients can navigate your server and get information, services, or products they are need. Any unnoticed failure leads to loss of clients that, in its turn, means loss of business.

Somebody may say that this is life, downtimes happens, and nobody can entirely avoid them. That is partly true. You can’t completely avoid them, but you can surely minimize them! The precedently you get info about any error, the sooner you can take some action and fix it. Call your network provider, review some network services, etc.
