We are thrilled to announce that our project for 2010, named HTTPMon (for HTTP Monitoring), has been successfully launched this autumn. This is our fourth big project and this way we perpetuate our ritual of releasing one big project per year.

Nowadays, it is really more than crucial that websites strive for a 100% uptime. Unfortunately, there are no easy ways to find out if this is true and therefore one has to trust their web hosting provider. With this in mind, we developed a simple and easy-to-use website monitoring tool, called HTTPMon, using the HTTP protocol to check your website’s availability at frequent regular intervals and report its status to you. In addition, this website monitoring tool will gather information about the network IP address, the web server software used and other relevant details.

The project-associated blog, called HTTP Website Monitoring Blog, will keep you updated with the latest news related to this innovative project. Besides, you will be able to follow the development and advances, giving you an insight into this useful web 2.0 tool.
