YouMonitor.us - P2P Web Site Monitoring Service 


YouMonitor.us is a distributed peer-to-peer web site monitoring service that puts your web site to work monitoring other sites for downtime, while other sites keep an eye on yours. The service is free, provided that you volunteer some CPU cycles and bandwidth from your server to monitor other sites, and YMU provides detailed downtime reports and instant notification of outages via SMS or email. To use the service for free, you must install a script on your web server (they offer it in PHP, JSP, ASP and Perl). The script receives monitoring tasks from the YMU Control Center, and pings other web sites about 10 times per minute. Other web sites in the network will ping your site up to 5 times per minute. If your site is not responding or is too slow, a text message or email will be dispatched, and you'll also get regular reports about your site's activity over time.

The resource consumption by the script is very a low, according to YMU - approximately equal to 10 page views per minute. According to their site, running the script 100 times per minute would result in a modest CPU usage of 2-3%, memory usage of 8.5-9.5 MB, and bandwidth of 200 B/s for HTTP monitoring and 2 KB/s for HTTP transaction.

If you do not wish to install the script on your server, there is a 30 Day trial to monitor your web site's uptime. Then after the trial, you may subscribe at the following prices:

$9.99/month for 60 checks per hour
$29.99/month for 300 checks per hour

BackBlaze - Backup Everything for just $5 per month 


BackBlaze is similar to Apple’s TimeMachine, but for PCs. You can backup everything on your computer via the internet to a secure datacenter, all for just $5 per month. Backblaze does not waste your bandwidth or Backblaze datacenter disk space. Thus, your operating system, program files, and temporary internet files that are transient and would not be useful in the future are not backed up. You may restore at any time by downloading a zip file, or having a DVD or USB drive sent to you via FedEx.
