We have added another neat feature to the Pingdom uptime monitoring service. You asked for it, and we listened. You can now export and download a detailed log of your monitoring results to a CSV file (which you can easily view in Excel). Above: You can find the export option on the Detailed Log report [...]
We found this on Flickr and simply had to share it with you. It’s a Pingdom response time graph for a user who switched web hosting provider, with quite a drastic effect on his load time. Courtesy of MellerTime at Flickr. Could the switch possibly have been around 4 p.m…?
We have just released a new set of reports in the Pingdom control panel. These reports give you even more flexibility than before when viewing your uptime, downtime and response time monitoring results. Note that these new reports are still in beta and will receive some additional polish, so this is the perfect time for [...]
If you are using our uptime monitoring service, you know that we always email you your invoices right away when you have made a purchase. However, there are lots of reasons why you later may want another copy of one or more of your invoices, or a simple way to view all your invoices at [...]

For any such service on the internet, availability is a very important factor. The service that scored best in the test was MailBigFile. They have capitalized on the value of having independent third-party information that [...]
We have just added three new dedicated check types for monitoring mail servers, one each for SMTP, POP3 and IMAP. For these check types, the connection to the specified mail server uses the selected email protocol (SMTP, POP3 or IMAP), something which gives you a very reliable indication that the mail server is up and [...]
(To be honest, we added this feature almost a month ago, but here is a proper introduction.) Sometimes you may want to temporarily pause monitoring of some of your websites or servers, or you may want an easy way to temporarily disable alerts to one or several of your contact persons (or all of them!). [...]
Starting this week, it is possible to see the exact reason why a server or website is detected as down by Pingdom. This will make it much easier for you as a user to pinpoint exactly what is wrong, and should help you find the problem faster. This is not a feature you need to [...]
