So what pingdom offer this time is free account that come with one check. You might ask what are checks ?

Checks means different kind of checking on pingdom, once you register your account, you can select what kind of check you want to perform on your site, you can do a normal http check for your blog, ping check to make sure the server connection always there or you can even do email check on SMTP/POP3/IMAP to make sure your mail server is not down.

If you think that 1 check is not enough or really feel like support pingdom or thinking to upgrade your pingdom account if you have multi site to check, you can choose to upgrade your account.

Personally i prefer pingdom to offer a few more combination of account, example if i don’t want the SMS , maybe i can trade it with more check ? a Basic account that come with 10 checks and no SMS might be more attractive ? If you still shopping for up time monitoring service, give pingdom a try, highly recommended.

• Siteuptime – a very traditional site uptime monitoring service, max interval is 30 min.
• Montastic – selling point is having RSS feed for status, i use this in my netvibes, so that i can monitor my site most of the time ( since i on my netvibes most of the time), It also provide yahoo widget for status checking
• Site24X7 – a monitoring service by Zoho , it include alert by email , SMS ( SMS alert too for certain area) and RSS , i believe the best part would be the report part, it include daily/weekly report about your site uptime statistic.
