Question Asked: How Can I Check My Website From Other Locations To See If It’s Up?
There’s a few options to make sure your site’s available to everyone and not just you.
First, there’s downforeveryoneorjustme.com. The site performs a simple check from a random location in the world, to see if it can reach the site. If it’s okay, it says “It’s just you”, and if it’s not, it says “Nope, it’s down for everyone.” Simple, yet effective.
If you want something more concrete, you can use Just-Ping. Just Ping sends out tests from a number of locations around the world, and reports back on their individual results, so you can see specifically who can (and cannot) view your website.
There are a number of “pay for” monitoring services, as well, that you can subscribe to. They range from a few dollars a month, to hundreds based on the number of features that they offer, and how many levels of notification they can provide. A quick Google search resulted in close to 10 million hits for “website monitoring premium.”
