Is there any easy and accurate way to do this?

    • Another option to check if a website is up or down is this website: isitdownrightnow.com

      At "Is It Down Right Now" you can simply type the web address into the box on that website, click check and it will tell you if the website is up or down.

  • to check the server uptime, you could create this .php file, upload it to your site's public_html folder. Then enter it in the url ex: yoursite.com/uptime.php

    Code:
    <?php

system("uptime");

?>

    • That will check the uptime of the server if the 'system' command is allowed, but the server being up doesn't necessarily mean that the http service is running properly and that OP's site is up.

      James, I agree with Oliver Mayfair that you should use a service like Uptime Robot. It's very easy to use.
