Solutions :: Remote Server Monitoring

How do you know if your website or mail server are currently working correctly and available for visitors or business contacts trying to send you messages?

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way that they could checked every few minutes (even while you're asleep) and you be notified as soon as a problem was detected?

The AFOYI remote monitoring service is designed to do just that. You can define what Internet facing services you would like to be checked, how often and what action to take when there is a problem and then rest easy with the knowledge that our geographically disperse monitoring systems are watching over them. Our monitoring systems will automatically check the configured services and notify you within moments using either (or both) an email or an SMS text message of a problem being detected.

Each host being monitored includes an unlimited number of services running on that host. The only constraint is that the service must be accessable using either TCP or UDP from our monitoring servers. Common examples of services monitored include web servers, mail servers and routers.
