SiteKick is a software application that constantly monitors the
availability of your website (in fact, any number of websites).
Whenever the site isn't reachable SiteKick takes the action you
specify: run a soundfile, popup a window, send e-mail to the
address you specified, send a second e-mail to a service which
converts your e-mail into a message that will be sent to a pager
or wireless phone.
SiteKick keeps a log of check results and response times. These
response times are shown in a graph, which will tell you at a
glance how your site is performing.
Of course your web hosting service company isn't the only one
responsible for your site's performance. But a graph of a
'reference' server made during the same period showing a much
higher performance can prove your point.
SiteKick runs on any Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP machine connected to
the Internet. It can be run in the background: when minimized it
reduces itself to an icon in the system tray.
