Originally launched as a free service (Mon.itor.us), Monitis SaaS has now released the Monitis Central, Cloud Edition and Web Load Tester, all provided as a managed service. And while many of the services apply to large online commerce sites mainly, there are still some highly useful tools for the small website owner. Here, we take a closer look at Monitis Central as a selected review for you the site owner.
Monitis Central
Offering up to six different services, Monitis Central makes sure to cover the vital needs of any website owner, self or remotely hosted.
External Monitoring
This service includes monitoring from the US, the UK, Germany, China, Australia and Panama, thus including all continents except Africa. Watching your servers 24 hours a day and seven day a week, if your website is performing poorly or becomes unavailable from any location worldwide, you will be notified instantly.
External monitoring requires no software or local installation.
Traffic Monitoring
Through Monitis Central service package you are also offered the option of including a site traffic statistics tool, Traffic Monitoring. Rather than having Analytics set up, thus adding yet another tool to monitor, you can track UV (unique visitors) page views, referrers, browsers, OS, geography etc. And while Traffic Monitoring offers little else than most standard site statistic tools, if you are planning to use Monitis it may be smart to include it.
Web Ranking Monitoring
An exceptional additional service with Monitis Central that many other traffic monitoring tools lack or overcomplicate (e.g. Google Analytics) is Web Rank Monitoring. This service makes it super easy to track you current keyword position, search engine ranking and backlinks.
Monitis Central is truly a full serviced website monitoring tool that may seem overcomplicated upon first glance. This is however understandable and soon forgotten and replaced with amazement. Monitis Central comes with all the features you need as a site owner. Before purchasing, try out the 15 days trial offered.
