ALERTSITE ANNOUNCES UNITED KINGDOM MONITORING
LOCATION
Provides Global Perspective of Web Site Performance
Boca Raton, FL - (January
23, 2001) - AlertSite
Inc., the premiere Internet device monitoring
service used to detect possible hackers, disruption
of service and slow response time, today announced
the availability of a U.K. based monitoring
location for its innovative service that monitors
web sites around-the-clock. AlertSite positioned
this NEW, redundant location so that global
E-commerce web sites can continually monitor
and refine the performance of their sites, thereby
enhancing customer satisfaction.
"Global businesses deserve
a global perspective of their web sites' performance.
This station allows our European customers the
opportunity to gauge performance from a location
closer to home," said Ken Gross, president
of AlertSite. "Any global company that
depends upon a web site for business should
harness the power of AlertSite to continually
monitor and refine site performance."
The addition of the UK location
allows European companies the ability to utilize
AlertSite's exclusive "MultiPOP" technology.
Each location operates independently and reports
results to a central database. Diverse geographic
monitoring provides customers with a redundant
and consistent "bird's eye" view of
how the Internet sees their E-commerce presence.
Before alerting users of a problem, the "MultiPOP"
system verifies the error with one or more stations
so that users are notified only for problems
that a company has control over and not for
isolated Internet outages. Therefore, both European
and non-European based organizations benefit
from this United Kingdom location.
"It is key to Honda to
view the world from the customers' point of
view," said Andy Smith, systems development
manager of Honda U.K. "AlertSite ensures
that monitoring is performed externally, via
the Internet - in exactly the same way as our
customers access our web site. We prefer to
monitor from the U.K. rather than the U.S. because
our web site customers are largely U.K.-based.
This local monitoring gives Honda a truer picture
of the service we are providing."
Other features and benefits
of AlertSite include "Fullpage" monitoring,
content verification (to ensure web sites and
CGI scripts behave as expected and that pages
have not been changed or compromised without
prior knowledge), E-mail and pager notifications,
DNS lookup, performance tracking (the time it
takes to connect to a web site and retrieve
a requested page) and diagnostic reporting.
Data is collected to measure, assure and improve
the quality of E-commerce sites, thereby improving
competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Dynamic
graphical performance reports complete the picture
to show how a site "looks" from a
variety of locations worldwide.
MultiPOP monitoring is available
for the e-Business, e-Professional and e-Enterprise
plans for an additional $19.95 per month per
monitoring station. Additional worldwide locations
are planned for the near future. Regular monthly
service runs $9.95 - $49.95 based on monitoring
intervals and features needed. A free trial
period is offered to new subscribers. For
