What Is AlertFox?
Most website owners have had this experience: Your old-style monitoring system shows nothing but green lights, yet the website is not functioning the way it should. Traditional website monitoring services do not dig deeply enough to detect glitches in the application’s code or database to find the problems that arise with bugs in Ajax, Flash or Silverlight objects.
The only way site owners can be certain that his or her website will work is to, well, use the website like a real user would. Nothing else will be as accurate.
The AlertFox Real Browser Monitoring does just that: They run real IE and Firefox web browsers in the cloud, so users of the service can see how their websites perform from a real user’s perspective. This way, AlertFox is capable of monitoring the function and performance of all websites, even those that use complex HTML, Ajax, Flash, Flex, and Silverlight.
The AlertFox monitoring system administers more than 200,000 website tests a day (and counting). They cater to a wide array of sites, from major online stores, e-payment and insurance companies, to SaaS providers and leading Flash game companies.
The AlertFox control panel is intuitive to use, with plenty of features for monitoring site performance and generating reports. They have visual graphs so that you can quickly see your site’s performance over a period of time.

I am building a few web sites this month for myself and a few friends that are starting new businesses – I don’t have any experience with hosting (or website design) and while I think my host is reliable and my designs will be stable, only time will tell.
It would be great to have the sites tested for me for errors.
Thanks.
