How WebSitePulse Works
WebSitePulse is a web-based remote monitoring service that keeps a constant watch over your servers and network components, web sites, web applications and email infrastructure 24/7/365. It does this by creating and sending target-specific tests and verifying that your devices are connected to the Internet, responding properly and delivering the correct contents to your customers in a timely manner. Monitoring tests are performed up to every minute simultaneously from multiple monitoring locations. When an error is detected, a triple-stage verification process is started using three independent resources to confirm the error. Once the error is confirmed, it will send notifications to all of your designated contacts. WebSitePulse monitors your website using similar technology as a common web browser simulating a real end-user experience.
The following steps describe how to use our remote monitoring services.

2. Activate the account, log in your web-based control panel and create the targets you wish to monitor with their individual configurations following the wizard steps. Monitoring can start immediately.
3. Create notification contacts with their respective configurations, alert schedules and escalation following the wizard steps.
4. Create reports by email for any of the targets, which will be sent to any of the email contacts in your account.
5. Create Public reports with real-time information about the uptime/downtime and the performance of your servers and web sites and publish them on your website, so you can show your users and customers 3rd party independent proof of performance.
6. Create users with their individual "log in" and access privileges.
Now as the targets and contacts are configured, the remote monitoring begins.
