x10Hosting Server Monitor (created by Piotr GRD)

[Piotr GRD]

This is not exactly "Off Topic", I would rather see it in ie. "Useful Information", but as there are only topics started by staff... If admins or moderators will decide that this topic will better fit into different forum section for better exposure - please, move.


Hello everyone. : )


Admins has been informed some time ago already and now I would like to announce it to all x10Hosting users.

x10Hosting Server Monitor (created by Piotr GRD)

This is the service that monitors accessibility to x10Hosting servers and display the results of it for every interested person.

Servers are monitored every 2 minutes, almost 24/7, in several various aspects like availability and time of responce on port 80 through HTTP, on port 21 through FTP, on port 2082 access to cPanel login page on servers with users accounts, additionally also availability of x10Hosting main page, forums and nameservers.

Results of the monitoring are updated "live" every 2 minutes and displayed in human friendly form of coloured time graphs that represents 24 hours of servers accessibility - last 24 hours on main page of the service and every day results when monitoring has been running after navigating through archives menu.

Service can be found under URL:
http://grd.net.pl/x10hosting/monitor/
Bookmark or add to favourites to not forget.

It's free to use for everyone, no need to login, register or anything.
I hope this will be as much useful as possible utility for everyone and will help to clear all doubts when one have problems (or not) accessing x10Hosting servers and don't know if it's something on his/her or on x10Hosting side. Additionally you can control how the servers worked when you were not online to check it by yourself. And if all the graphs will be continuously green - the admins will have something to be proud about. ; )

Currently only servers with free accounts are monitored, but if you're a premium hosting user and you would like me to monitor the premium server - contact me through email provided in the footer of the page with my Server Monitor with subject line "x10Hosting Server Monitor". Thank you.

Now that, is what I call a detailed monitor!

nice service!

[themvrules74]

Very detailed indeed. Now I don't have to report every error I get, when I know everybody gets them...

Corey does NOT like these XD

I must admit though, it is nice

EDIT: Just noticed that you say you've informed admins, which admins? :/

As I did not found any possibility to contact Corey directly (no email address found except abuse one, no possibility to send email to him through forums interface and I could not send PMs to anyone having not enough posts in here) I've sent emails through forums interface to Brandon and Bryon, I've asked them for any comments, concerns or are they have anything against it or not, and I've asked them to forward my messages to Corey. I didn't get any reply that they have anything against existence of it or making it public except one message from Bryon about not listing publicly the servers hostnames, so follwing that request I've removed the hostnames leaving only well known names like "Boru, Chopin" etc. and I've asked if there is anything more that they have to tell me about. Since my first message was sent at October 19th - I think I gave enough time to reply me back that they do not want it to exist and/or being publicly available.


I do monitor 18 shared webhosts currently and I hope that my utility will be useful for their users, but I always ask the admins before announcing it publicly.


-----------------------------------

Thank you for kind words about the service, everyone. : )

Okay, no problem then, I guess

I don't think Corey likes these at all.

[Piotr GRD]

In my latest message to Bryon and Brandon I did even inform when exactly I will announce it publicly. And I've asked them to forward my messages to Corey. So one short message from them "no, don't publish it" would be enough from their side, I didn't get any, so I assume they don't have anything against it.

Besides - my utility don't show anything new, all the people posting in the free hosting support section do know what's up with the servers anyway. ; )

Maybe monitor of servers with premium accounts, if these are much more stable, would encourage more people to pay for premium?... But I have difficulties with identify these servers. If someone want to help me with this, please, contact me, my email is in the footer of my pages with monitoring results. : )

he is presenting the truth. he is not spreading any deceitful and false information to put x10hosting down. What's the problem in such thing. It will help members to know for how much time and in what time their site is down. This will help them to determine the loss and act accordingly.
