Free Website Monitoring, Uptime, Alerts, Reports & Graphs
MonTools is a powerful yet easy to use free website monitoring service. It checks your website or server at regular intervals specified by you and sends you an email, sms, twitter alert or a voice phone call as soon as it detects that your site is down. Most of our services are free.
Website monitoring is extremely essential to ensure that your website is available to users and downtime is minimized. Visitors that rely on your website will get frustrated and eventually stop using your website if it is not reliable. Even your search engine rankings may disappear if your site is down frequently or for longer periods.
