The other day I signed up for uptime monitoring with Pingdom for my website. I decided to find out how much downtime my own site really has. The issue of down time was brought to light after some of the other websites I administrator for work having technical issues causing downtime

The things I like about Pingdon is that you can can monitor 1 site for free and they host a public report of your sites uptime. My uptime report can be found here http://status.cloudportal.org/
