WHAT WE DO: Our online websitedown.info tool is one of the many services created to tell you when a website is experiencing trouble. In short, if you are interrupted by an error message like server not found or connection timed out while you are browsing, the first thing you should check if it is just you or everyone else is noticing a service issue for that particular domain name. Simply visit us, do a real-time website status check for the given web service and stay informed by bookmarking the results (in this case every time you visit the results page a new check will be performed and the status updated). Give it a try! Enter a domain name or URL address in the form above and click the check button. It is that simple to use our free service.

HOW DO WE DO IT: First of all, we strip out the domain name from the given URL address (e.g.: example.com from http://www.example.com/index.html) and locate the domain's web server. Then we try to connect to this server and communicate with it by requesting the given web page's delivery. We are sending these requests from an independent network (our own servers). If we encounter an error during this process or do not get a response within 5 seconds from the remote server, we consider the site to be down right now. Please note, that we are unable to examine the received page's content since thousands of checks are perfomed day by day. This means if a simple message like temporarily down for maintenance, a blank page or the content with limited functionality is received, we consider the site to be up. These problems should be solved by the webmaster. 404 and similar errors are reported as down.
