Dotcom-Monitor, DollarDays Renew Marriage Vows

Dotcom-Monitor, a vendor of externally-hosted network and IT monitoring services, has announced that Internet-based product wholesaler DollarDays International has selected Dotcom-Monitor (News - Alert) "for its fourth consecutive year."

DollarDays is a B2B online wholesale distributor letting small business owners offer merchandise "free of membership," DollarDays officials say, with the same sort of "discounts and margins offered to the largest retailers."

DollarDays also offers small businesses a distributor program which includes Web site creation and maintenance.

"As an online retailer, our business performance begins to suffer any time our site exhibits five seconds of delay in response time for our Web applications, which can significantly impact our overall numbers," says Marc Joseph, founder and president of DollarDays International.

Dotcom-Monitor provides monitoring for a wide variety of systems and applications, including Web Site Monitoring (HTTP), Secure Website Monitoring (HTTPS), Intel (News - Alert) Trace route, Certificate Verification, Content Check, Accessibility Check, Performance Check, Cookie Support, SIP Monitoring (VoIP), DNS Blacklist Monitoring and others.

In June TMC's Jyothi Shanbhag reported that Dotcom-Monitor unveiled a new tool, Uptime Meter, to monitor and display a Web site's uptime and performance in 30-minute intervals.

"The company is currently offering this Uptime Meter for free at Dotcom-Monitor's site," she reported at the time.

Dotcom-monitor automatically gathers statistics from a site every 30-minutes and displays the average uptime and performance of the Web site on basis of the statistics. Also, if visitors click on the Uptime Meter, the user is linked to detailed graphical uptime reports.

"For many smaller companies just starting out, monitoring is an important next step in validating their website infrastructure and business reliability," Shanbhag quoted Vadim Mazo (News - Alert), CTO and Founder of Dotcom-Monitor as saying:

"Five-nines Website uptime and performance is synonymous with business success. Using Dotcom-Monitor's Uptime Meter, which is fast becoming an industry standard as an independent third-party, provides organizations with a free tool to validate their commitment to website uptime and website user experience."
