All sensors are tested from five locations in the UK, Europe and the USA before confirming any change in status.
SMTP email Sensors
SMTP (Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the basic protocol for sending e-mail messages between mail servers over the Internet. Whenever you send or receive an e-mail it it transferred using this protocol.
Our SMTP monitoring service will connect to your server and check whether it is running and correctly accepting requests on the SMTP protocol.
POP3 email Sensors
The POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol version 3) is used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail applications use the POP3 protocol.
Our POP3 monitoring service will connect to your server and check whether it is running and correctly accepting requests on the POP3 protocol.
I'd just like to say how impressed we've been with your service. It does just what we need without fuss or confusion - it's hard to see how it could be improved.

Great Value
Considering how much being notified as soon as a problem occurs has saved us over the last 12 months, £144 a year is great value!

Saved £££'s in lost sales
A relatively small spend on monitoring has saved me £££'s on missed sales and on potentially changing hosting arrangements unnecessarily.
