Regional Internet Outages

Our monitoring systems have been designed with a high level of redundancy to safeguard against many types of failures, including regional Internet outages. These safeguards ensure you the following:

Monitoring is Not Interrupted - Since we run multiple Test Stations geographically located in many regions, if there is a general internet outage in any of these regions, our monitoring service will continue to monitor your servers from our Test Stations located in the other regions.

False Alert Protection - Because we always verify your web site or server errors from at least two different Test Stations geographically located in different regions, we are able to accurately identify regional Internet outages and avoid sending you false Alerts.

When your server is located inside the region that is experiencing the Internet outage, we do send you Alerts.

Keep in mind that during general Internet outages, Alerts we send you may not reach you if your mobile service provider is within the region affected by the general Internet outage.
