Pingdom on November 6th, 2007 by Pingdom
Starting today, Pingdom has gone from offering one single package to offering two packages. The old Pingdom package is now called Pingdom Basic, and the new, more powerful package, is called Pingdom Business.
The price for Pingdom Basic is still $9.95 per month, while the price for Pingdom Business is $39.95 per month.
What does Pingdom Business offer?
- 200 SMS included when you sign up (instead of 20).
- Heavy discount on SMS alerts.
- 30 checks included (instead of 5).
In the near future we will also be adding several advanced features to the Pingdom Business package that will not be available in Pingdom Basic.
Who is it for?
Pingdom Business is meant to be an ideal account for companies with a need to monitor a large number of websites, servers or services, and want to receive SMS alerts to multiple contacts (this is where the heavy discount on SMS comes in).
Good examples would be web hosting companies and other similar businesses that offer services on the internet.
How do I upgrade from Basic to Business?
If you want to upgrade your Basic account to a Business account, you can easily do this under “Upgrade account” in the Pingdom control panel.
The cost will be reduced depending on how much you have left of your Pingdom Basic subscription period, so you will not lose any money by upgrading. All your settings will remain the same (including the checks and contacts you have set up).
Questions or feedback?
If you have any questions or other feedback, please feel free to contact us.

There’s no denying that Google Chrome continues to be the darling of the web browser market. And as we predicted in July last year, Chrome overtook Firefox around November 2011.
So now the question is, when will Google also wrestle down Internet Explorer, and become the undisputed king of the browser world? In December 2011, Chrome 15 became the most popular browser in the world, beating Internet Explorer 8, but if you combine all IE versions, Microsoft still holds the number 1 spot.
Equipped with the latest web browser statistics from StatCounter, we set out to see when Chrome is likely to achieve more than 50% market share.
