pingdom.com - Too much load?

[Danielx386]

Hello,

Question, Are we pernitted to use pingdom.com to check when our website go down and to provide reporting of uptime ect? I'm looking at setting it to pinhg my website ever 1 min. Is that too short? I would set it to 5 mins if need be.

Thanks

Daniel

There should be nothing wrong with using Pingdom. I use an uptime checker myself and I haven't gotten any complaints about using it. Many other members use uptime checkers as well.

I don't see why it would be a problem. In fact, I don't think the admins could stop you

Yeah, my main worry is CPU use and other rescourse. At lease I know that others use one so I should be safe. Thanks

Using uptime trackers does not use x10Hosting's CPU.

The only thing Uptime trackers will use is some slight bandwidth. It's nothing big, as typically they only load up the text version of your page making sure the web server is serving up content. If you choose the ping test, that's less in depth as the server will respond more to ping than HTTP requests in a free hosting environment, but even then, marginal amounts of bandwidth. Won't hit CPU/RAM usage unless your front page or whatever page you set it to try to load is bugged.

Thankyou everyone. I don't mind if those checkers use some of my bandwidth, I try to keep the home page as light as possable. All setup and ready for reporting
