The paid web monitoring services usually have more features as is the case with paid web hosting services.  The services are developed in such a way that they can monitor several sites at the same time, but the free services might not be able to monitor the site effectively. It is required that the monitoring be done at all times and the best way to make the best decision on the services is to look up reviews about the service.  The monitoring service is done in scheduled times that range from hours to several minutes, the shorter the checkup time the better the service.

The monitoring is done by sending automatically scheduled signal requests to websites that fall in a given web hosting domain, and once the signal is sent back it’s analyzed. The efficiency of the monitoring is enhanced by sending the signal from different geographical locations that the site is offered to ensure that all is well from those areas. If the returning signal is an ‘ok’, the cycle then begins all over without triggering any action towards the site owner. When there is a problem on the received signal a second check is done and several locations are checked for the same problem before an alert made. The alert is made to a device that doesn’t share the same domain offered by the web hosting company and this might be a pager or a mobile phone.

Though the main objective of the web monitoring service is to alert one when there is a failure in web hosting, the service also provides useful data in the form of logs that can be accessed to analyze the problems that causes the downtime by accessing the characteristics when the site falls, and the same information can be used to demand better service from the web hoisting company.
