      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.

        Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

          You might wanna check out Pingdom. It's super easy to use. You'll receive instant notification via email, mobile app, or Twitter DM as your server goes down. And you'll also receive a monthly server uptime report. There's a free plan (https://www.pingdom.com/free/) if you don't wanna spend anything.

    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");
    
    ?>

      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.

        I was not trying to be facetious with my answer, " Ask Google"
        You asked for "specific instructions" which there are plenty of on Google, now you could ask here one at a time (see above) waiting for a reply or check Google and find what you are looking for within minutes...

    Pingdom is Awesome! Also, if your on WordPress Jetpack does this (for free) as well.
