View the 3 sites and Pingdom monitoring reports I’m using for this Webhosting Shootout.

I posted a 1.5MB page tonight for my Webhosting Shootout – lots of screenshots and of course, my WordPress site is FAST on CartikaHosting and Amazon S3/Cloudfront.

It’s a web hosting shootout – CartikaHosting, MediaLayer and Media Temple. Reliability vs Performance vs Seduction. The quest – which company gives me the fastest initial GET and the best reliability.

I get a little freaked out when commenting goes quiet on my sites. I’m glad to have Pingdom on my side!

It’s a typical 18 hour site launch day and it was actually saner than most. I’m already planning the updates for this site, as well as preparing to launch another site within a week. I thought I’d take you through launch day and into launch night so you get a taste of what it’s like to do this for a living.

If you need a CDN you need to read what Chris Meller says.

Pingdom is an uptime monitoring solution with points of presence throughout Europe and the US. They check your site up to every minute. They have page analyzer tools.

And you can get it for only $9.95 per month!

It’s Saturday afternoon, 12:19pm. Do you know where your website is?
