How to tell how often my Hosting is down?

Hi guys, I picked up some cheap hosting, a WSO.

I just went to have a look at my site, and got this, This website is temporarily unavailable, please try again later.

Is there an online tool I can use that tells me how often my site has been down, or the hosting package in general?

Cheers

    I think I've seen some sites that claim to measure hosts' uptime, but I don't think there's anywhere that will give you an accurate number. Depending on the server your host places you on, your uptime results will be different.

    There arn't any services that will be able to show your uptime percentage to date if you have not joined the service previously.

    I would just give it a little time, if the problems resolve you can stick with the host. If the problems remain, its time to switch hosts.

    Best of Luck,
    Chris

    Just did a Google search, looks like Host Tracker has a 30 day free trial. It says they'll even send you a text when your server is down.

    Also some other sites that claim their service is free, just Google "host uptime checker".

    By the way I also switched to hosting I purchased through a WSO recently, hope I don't have any issues

    There's a lot of softwares you can use to monitor your servers, Host tracker is one of them.

    You are probably best off switching host to someone that has a 99.9% uptime. I have tried many hosts. I've even thinking of making a whole blog from my experiences. Good and bad.

    Which Host do you have? If I dont mind asking...

    www.pingdom.com tracks your websites uptime it also tracks the servers response time so you can see if anything is wrong or you are losing visitors due to slow loading.
