Ocean City, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/15/2015 -- ServiceUptime, a website monitoring service, announces they have now reached 100,000 customers. The company detects approximately 2,000 to 3,000 connectivity and downtime issues on a daily basis and has conducted 7.5 billion checks since their opening in 2005. This is of great importance as website downtime often leads to lost profits and revenue, and the uptime monitoring service alerts a customer within seconds via SMS or email when their site returns incorrect data or becomes inaccessible. Companies find this service to be of great benefit to them in numerous situations.

"Many companies opt for free site monitoring simply because they wish to save money. With this service, the website of a business is checked every 30 or 60 minutes and all features are offered to ensure the site is available. Users choosing this option receive detailed reports concerning their account and may choose to purchase SMS alerts as an add on feature. Any downtime, however, can lead to a loss of customers, and this is why many companies opt for a paid plan," Brian Heartley, spokesperson for ServiceUptime, LLC, explains.

Paid plans offer a variety of added features, including checks every one, two or three minutes, depending on the plan selected and anywhere from 10 to 110 monitors. The company maintains more than 10 worldwide monitoring locations and provides users with the opportunity to monitor FTP, SMTP and custom ports, along with many others. Companies often find the minimal monthly fee required for a service of this type is well worth the peace of mind they obtain knowing their site is up and running at all times.

"Companies choosing to sign up for a premium account receive free welcome SMS alerts, and there is no activation or setup fee charged. Users receive reports daily, weekly, monthly and yearly for both uptime and performance and can view their summary statistics for the entire monitoring period. Other features include partner link and web page content monitoring, outage double check technology and a custom timeout for each monitoring service," Heartley continues.

Ponemon Institute once stated that a single minute of downtime could lead to a loss of $5,600 per minute or $336,000 every hour. They found UPS system failure to be the most common reason for downtime, followed by human or accidental error and then water/heat or computer room air conditioner failure. Regardless of what leads to the downtime, it can be costly for any business, but especially the small business owner.

"Take advantage of the website monitoring service today. It provides peace of mind at very little cost, if any. Don't put your business at risk by allowing your site to be down. Once customers look elsewhere, they may never come back, and the risk of this is too great. Contact us today to discuss our plans, as we'll be happy to help you find the one that best meets your needs," Heartley declares.
