Your Website is Down...Did You Know?

neoDo you like the way it feels to be in control?  Do you enjoy the feeling of confidence that comes from understanding exactly what is going on and exactly how to respond in a certain situation?

I certainly do.  In fact, when these rare seasons of confident clarity allow me to unleash my inner sci-fi nerd, it feels like I’m living in The Matrix – and I’m the invincibly omniscient Neo (albeit with more than one facial expression)!

Conversely, I know how uncomfortable it can feel to suspect that something important may be spinning out of control.

Sometimes it begins as a small nagging voice inside your head…

Did I leave the iron turned on, sitting right next to that pile of old newspapers?

Why did my babysitter’s boyfriend pick-up the phone when I called home to check on her?

And still other times the insecurity comes out of nowhere and hits you like a ton of uncontrollable bricks…

We’re glad you came back to our clinic on such short notice, Mr. Jones.  We have some concerns about your latest bloodwork.

Boom.  Talk about a lack of clarity and control.

eggshellsYes, unlike Neo’s omniscient lifestyle in the fictional Matrix, your life here in the “real” world includes innumerable unknowns, many of which can fill your mind with worst-case scenarios, or fill your stomach with a hollow sense of dread.  And it can be especially difficult to press onward with confidence when you aren’t even sure when your inevitable challenges will arise – like cautiously walking on eggshells through a dessert of imperfect information, where you don’t know what you don’t know.

Well, we here at Real Estate Mogul may not know any (legal) methods for monitoring your babysitter’s risky behavior(s), but we are pleased to take a big chunk of insecurity off your plate in a different way.

You Can Receive Immediate Alerts When Your Website Crashes

That’s right.  You don’t have to worry anymore about monitoring the health of your website, or its servers.  No more late-night “safety pings” to ensure that your website is still operational.  No more angry customers being the first ones to report a problem to you.  No more stressful guesswork.

And in this world of nagging suspicions and frustrating unknowns, don’t we all want to minimize the stressful guesswork?

squirrelsI do, which is why I was so intrigued when Mogul’s own Cory Boatright (founder of shortsaleology.com) recently told me about a nifty little service from Pingdom.

Pingdom is an online website monitor which regularly analyzes your website’s performance data and lets you know exactly how real visitors experience your website.  The service regularly checks your website’s health and immediately alerts you when problems arise (which they inevitably will).

That’s one less thing for you to worry about!  Especially if you are a business owner who strives to stay on the cutting-edge of operational relevance.

Oh, and by the way, IT’S FREE!  Yup, if you are only interested in monitoring the health of one website, then Pingdom offers a FREE service for penny-pinchers like you.  Of course, the company hopes that your satisfaction with their free single-serving service will one day inspire you to explore their suite of paid subscription models, but you can enjoy peace-of-mind for your most important website without spending a dime!

That’s exactly what I did, and I was so impressed that I recorded the following video for you…
