Website Revenue Loss - Website Monitoring Service

It is said always "Prevention is better than Cure”. This proverb will even suit for your website, which earns business for you online. Simply by hosting a website does not mean that you can sit back and you are out of race. Any website is prone to changes and can raise issues because of

• Issues with the hosting providers
• Browser changes
• External sites
• 3rd party
• security failures

The above listed reasons are highly possible and most websites get affected because of the same. While going deep into these problems, the hosting providers can face problems such as software upgrades, server changes, power outages, bandwidth changes and even addition of new accounts, which can ultimately affect the website hosted on it. Therefore it’s better to be ready and precautious for any kind of issues raised from the hosting providers end.

Next is the change in browser which can change in the website appearance and also in the functionality. Accordingly, measures have to be taken to fix this issue.

The 3rd priority goes to the links to external website. Problems with the linked website will have direct impact on your website.

Shopping cart services will have unannounced changes that can cause failures on your website. Most importantly, when the sites are hacked or attacked.

The above explained issues cannot be predicted and obviously results in loss of revenue from the website, therefore it is very important to monitor website all the time.

Here comes the need of "Website Monitoring Service"

How a monitoring service helps in protecting the revenue loss?

Even there are websites which offer even the server monitoring service which monitors ports, DNS, FTP, MySQL, SMTP, POP3, IMap & SSH protocols.
