HostTracker welcomes Habr

The team of the company HostTracker strongly welcomes all Habrochiteli. With this post we open our official blog on Habré.

Who are we

HostTracker is the largest service monitoring the availability of sites. We help increase the number of nines in the value of Uptime with our customers. We contribute to the rapid solution of problems and increase the stability of the sites. In the market since 2006. The main office in Kiev.

Who is our customer

Our customers are people and companies for whom Stability and Accessibility are not empty words. Oh, a little pompous happened ... Let's try again.
Our customers are people and companies that are responsive and correcting any trouble that comes with their online resources. Aim for uptime 99.99999%. They want to receive statistics on uptime, which is interesting and to see for themselves, and to show clients with their superiors, to boast, so they say, “how everything works cool and stable here, and we didn't draw the numbers ourselves, and HostTracker carefully collected and saved them for us” .

Main tasks

Let's go through the main tasks that we solve.

Task 1: Minimize downtime.
Solution: notifications of "falls"

Site downtime is bad. We help to effectively deal with them. Let's not talk for a long time that the “lying” site is lost clients, lost profits, and nerve cells, which, as we know, are not restored.
Conducting continuous monitoring of client resources, we find problems and report them. Typical reaction time to a problem, our clients have a few minutes.

Task 2. Collection of statistics on the work of the resource

In the process of monitoring, we accumulate huge amounts of information. This information includes time, duration and type of downtime, resource response time, speed, page sizes, and more. We process all this mountain of information into reports and graphs, convenient for analysis and study.

Task 3. And what is happening with the site right now?
Solution: instant check from several points

“I don’t know anything, everything opens for me”, a familiar phrase for many. But you personally, the page does not open. How to determine where the problem is?
For such cases, we offer a distributed site check . We will check the site from almost two dozen independent points distributed throughout the world. Analyzing the result we can conclude about the nature of the problem.

What will this blog be about

On the use of our service, on its internal structure. About interesting technical findings and problems that we face in the development. About the technologies we work with. In general, about everything a little.

What we expect from Habr

We are waiting for a synergistic effect :-). We are very interested to know the opinion of the respected Habro community. Hear criticism, wishes, and any comments. Help with solving problems with users. Discuss fresh ideas and features.
With questions / wishes / criticism welcome to comments.

May Uptime be with you!
