Monitoring service Reading Time: 2 minutes

You know that one of the primary functions of management is controlling. You can’t truly manage a business or a website if you can’t see what is happening with it. When we are talking about a site, knowing if it is online (not experiencing downtime), seeing how busy it is, and checking if the servers are experiencing any troubles are crucial. For all those purposes, you can get a Monitoring service.

Monitor every aspect of your digital infrastructure

There are Monitoring services that include multiple monitoring types. For example, some can check your business DNS infrastructure to see if your domain is responding. You can also check your business’s web hosting with a web check or an FTP check.

Other monitors can check your email servers with SMTP, IMAP, or POP monitoring. Of course, there are also ways to check your database response with MySQL, MSSQL, or another check.

Fantastic Monitoring service with a variety of check types!

Yes, you will be unable to read certain types of books. Nevertheless, there is one advantage: no one will know what you are reading because your library is secret.

Furthermore, we refer to Private as DNS over TLS (Transport Layer Security) or DNS over HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). This is because when you use DoT (DNS over TLS) or DoH (DNS over HTTPS), all DNS queries are encrypted. This makes it far more difficult for malicious third parties to monitor your online activity.
