Hi, I'm a competitor of yours (although I concentrate on server monitoring) and we both compete with PingDom who are the leader in this market. I'm not sure sub 1 minute monitoring is that big a benefit and you'll need a key differentiator to attract clients. I think you'll find it very tough to earn revenue in this space, there are plenty of free options out there already and Pingdom does 5 websites for $5 a month with 1 minute monitoring. Good luck.

Hey Ian, appreciate the feedback. We highly agree and thats why we're still in Beta. What we're releasing now are the early stages of a much greater plan. How do you differentiate?

  I monitor ports, web pages, cpu load, disk space and memory. I also do monitor escalation. http://servermonitoringhq.com http://servermonitoringhq.com

    Very cool, i like the direction you're headed. We too like the detect issues before there is an outage approach. Its the direction we're head too. Good luck!

I agree, site monitoring is a commodity it seems. I use Pingdom and am happy with it. One thing I do need that no monitoring service has provided is the ability to monitor/alert for potential automated scrapers/bots(that aren't search engines) that visit my site. Would not be trivial of course, but it would address a pain. Also, I would love to have an easy way to view my current memory, hard disk space, CPU load in my Amazon instances. I KNOW there are ways to do so but just after 10 mins of Googling them, I get a headache.. I want something less painful.

  For a view on CPU, memory and disk space take a look at http://status2k.com http://status2k.com
