Web site down! Description
One of the main duties of any website administrator is, as you may have guessed it, to ensure that the website at hand actually stays online.
Forget all about using command line tools to check your website’s status
If, for example, the website does not feature a comprehensive backend to help you check its status, you are left with the option of using the Command Prompt and manually pinging the website’s server.
With its somewhat shouty name, Web site down! is a basic piece of software that aims to offer a more user-friendly solution for checking the status of your website, as opposed to using the aforementioned command-based method.
Portable app with basic looks
Since the application is portable and very small in size, you are not required to go through any installation process and you can take it with you everywhere you go on any storage device.
In terms of looks, let us put it this way: the utility makes the expression ‘what you see is what you get’ seem very appropriate. Web site down!’s main window features such a simple layout that even novice users cannot possibly get into trouble while working with it.
Simple and efficient website checker
Working with the tool is as simple as everything else about it, since you only need to type your website’s URL and send a Ping using the designated button. You have the option to choose the ping time out interval or set up the app to check every few seconds.
The utility can also be used to check the availability of a local computer, remote computer, ISP, webserver or any online Internet connection.
Unimpressive, but definitely efficient
On the other hand, you are entitled to think that the app is a bit old-fashioned and maybe lacking some features and yes, there are a lot of better and more feature-packed online solution for checking websites. Also, some features like IP finder, a subnet calculator or a location finder for the website’s domain would have been welcomed.
To conclude, Web site down! may not be much to look at, but it is actually a very efficient and simple to use app that can help you check if your website is online, nothing more, nothing less.
