Keep an eye on your server status with Simple Server Monitor

Screengrab_3 Whilst many employees work remotely, away from the office, most of our clients would have no idea where they are located. It's the same with a web server. Gone are the days where you needed a leased line and you would host a website on your own server and had a full-time admin making sure that it was up at all times (well, during office hours). Many servers are hosted in a remote location. The snag is, they're more likely to go down for various reasons.

Simple Server Monitor 2.0.4 is a tool that you can use to maintain your servers and keep you informed on whether they are online. It won't just ping a server, it will login with a username and password that you provide, so that you can make sure the components that reside on your server, are online.
