Is My Web Site Up or Down?
Previously I told you about an awesome web site status tool that could help you tell if your web site was up or not. Down for everyone or just me looks to have become a real success. I have one better though, thanks to a suggestion from a Web Hosting Show listener named John.
I’ve been using DFEOJM a long time, and have found it to be a great tool. You’re right that the URL is a tad long. I came across this web site:
It’s almost identical, except it’s a shorter URL, easier to remember. It doesn’t have the instant site checking, but at least the URL is shorter.
All you have to do is type in the domain you want to check into the text box on the site, and hit the “Enter” key on your keyboard. Then the web site tells you if the web site is up or down for them. A very nice alternative to use if you want to check to see if others can see your web site.

Cool!
Another cool thing I just noticed about checksite.us is that you can also check URLS and not just the top levels (i.e. aol.com).
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
