The Technology Behind

We verify each web host uptime by checking several sites hosted by that provider on a regular basis (2-4 times per hour). We run the checks from several geographic locations. If we have negative result from one location we compare the same sample to the other locations that we have and in case that 50% or more of the locations report the site to be up, then we consider the site as up and running. We use HEAD HTTP requests to monitor a site uptime. Once a day our system verifies if the site domain is still registered and if it is still pointed to the same web hosting provider. In case something has changed, the site is put temporary on hold for manual intervention. The HEAD requests are requesting only the response headers of a web server, and we actually only read the first line of the response so there should not be any bandwidth or server resources usage overhead for the monitored sites.
