If you own a website you might have shared you own issues with having your website down. For a blogger this can also mean precious loss of traffic and subsequently a loss of revenue. Wasitup.com is one such website that monitors your website and sends you an email if it goes down.
Features
- Wasitup.com conducts a HTTP HEAD request and checks if the statud code is 200 OK. This means it checks if the page you have submitted is up and running.
- If you specify a text within the url, it checks if the text is present or not in the HTTP body.
- Once your website is down you receive an email. Your website is checked every 5 minutes. 🙂
- You can monitor upto 10 websites per account.
I think this would be quite useful for someone who is working part time as a blogger or might be away on vacation for a few days. Obviously at such times a email notification of the downtime would be greatly beneficial.
Let me know what do you think about Wasitup.com through your comments. 🙂

Just started monitoring with this service. Lets see how it works!
thanks for this but i prefer pingdom.com which is free [i guess] and also sends u SMS to notify you.
Pingdom is free for monitoring one website. The other packages it offers are paid services.
It ofcourse has support for trouble shooting. But thats mainly viable for bigger websites. For small websites this option seems better.
Registered for this service.. lets see hows its performance now
Thanks for this great share of information, its really helpful for webmaster and system administrators.
I think http://site24x7 is better and has better functionality. The most important thing is that it is monitoring in 1 min interval & is completely free for 2 websites. Hey dude http://www.devilsworkshop.info belongs to u ?
I was using pingdom until now . will use it too
