Get Notification When a Website Goes Down

Here are a few tools that you can use to find out if a site is down. Some of these tools will also notify you when it goes back up again.

Ding It’s Up: Get email, SMS and Twitter notification when a site goes down and when it’s up again.

NotifyMee: It sends you an email when a downed site you want to visit reappears on the internet. It follows a downed site and lets you know when it returns. It should be very useful next time your favorite weblog is unreachable or a link you really want to check out crashes under the weight of its popularity. It also outputs a tweet to notify other people that the site is down and when it goes back up.

IsitFucked: A simple tool that you can use to find out if a website is down.

Is this Down: Another tool to check if a site is down for everyone or if it’s only down on your computer or your location.

DownforEveryoneOrJustMe : Same as Is This Down but without the ads.

Down For You Too: Another website status checker. It also displays a list of recent checks. If the domain that you are going to check happens to be on the list and it’s down, there’s no need for you to know if it’s just you.

SparkTooth: Track Keywords on a Website and Get Notified

Are you patiently waiting for an article to appear on a website? Now, you don’t have to refresh or constantly visit the site where your desired keyword might appear. You can get an email notification when a phrase or keyword appear on a website or blog through SparkTooth.

All you need to do is enter the phrase or keyword along with the URL of the website you want to track plus your email address. You will be notified when the word or set of words appear on the website. The service checks websites every 10 minutes and once it finds what you’re looking for, your email will be removed from the system. The tool only searches the URL that you have provided and not the entire domain. This will prevent you from getting the wrong notice in cases that the website previously published an article or post with keywords similar to what you are looking for.

SparkTooth simply makes it easier for us to track certain keywords that relate to an article that we are interested in. I may not be an everyday app for some but for those who constantly track the web, this will surely come in very handy.
