Simple web service : websitedown.com is a
constant updated list of URLs that are
currently unavailable due to network
issues.
Website owners log a message with
websitedown.com once an issue is known
and remove message when site is up and
running again.
http://websitedown.com/
Close, just doesn't update automatically. Of course, without that functionality it's a bit useless. [Worldgineer, Feb 22 2005]
down, down, deeper and down.

Shirley it depends on where the network failure is. A site might be unavailable to me but not to you. What happens then? |
|
| |
[angel] true, but right now, I have no
idea why I can't reach a site. At least
with this service (a google service?), I
have an idea what the problem is. |
|
| |
You know, this is a pretty good idea. + |
|
| |
And then there's websitedown.down.com, just in case. |
|
| |
ending with statusquo.com |

I knew it was you [po] as soon as I saw the Status Quo lyrics.... |

you know me better than I do, norm. |

One implementation difficulty: "network issues" are relative. I might not be able to get to a certain website from my ISP here in Atlanta, but you might be able to get to it from your internet-enabled phone in Taiwan. This isn't always your ISP's fault, for instance if the website's DNS has been updated but hasn't propagated to all servers worldwide. |
|
| |
Also consider large sites like Google or Yahoo that actually exist on hundreds (thousands!) of servers. If the servers for your country are down, then that site is effectively down, even though others may be happily accessing it elsewhere. |
