Importance of Website Monitoring

2nd November 2015

Getting your website monitored properly is vitally important if you want to reap the biggest benefits and it is actually easier than ever to do this for your own site. All you need to get started is a website monitoring service and you’d be surprised at what a difference it can make to your own site. Why don’t you take a look below to see what benefits it can offer you as well as some information as to how it could help your site.

False Positives

Sometimes you may get an alert that there is something wrong with your site. Of course, this can be very annoying and frustrating when it turns out that it is just a false positive, but when you hire a reputable company for the job, you don’t need to worry about this at all. When you do get an alert, your monitoring service will go into an advanced checking process which means that you won’t experience any downtime.

Domain Monitoring

Monitoring your domain is important so that you can see the date that your domain expires as well as the lock status. This means that you will never miss out on renewing your domain and it also means that you are sent an alert when your domain is about to expire. We can also monitor your domain’s reputation to ensure that nobody is taking advantage by spoofing your domain. DNS monitoring is part of our DNS Management service.

Security and Updates

Another major benefit of website monitoring is the added security that you get. Many monitoring services will also include virus and malware scanning and this is priceless when you think about all the customer data that you may have stored on there or spam that can be avoided. Regularly monitoring for (and applying) updates is also extremely valuable (part of our WebMaster service) and you will also find that this helps to minimise downtime as well because you don’t need to worry about old or insecure plugins being exploited or causing server issues.
