HostGuardian's technology has many advantages over other network monitoring services.

• HostGuardian offers 6 different types of monitoring: port monitoring, content checking, process verification, bandwidth utilization management, router/connectivity checks, and customizable open-ended monitoring.

• Checks are performed every 5 minutes. Many competitors check every 10 or 15 minutes. Downtime costs money, and HostGuardian wants to be sure you are aware of any outage as soon as possible.

• All checks are stored in our database, including successful checks. This allows calculations to be performed on uptime percentages, latency/packet loss averages, bandwidth utilization, and load time averages.

• Reports are on-demand through the toolset. View summary reports or view every check on a particular device for a specific day.

• Web based troubleshooting tools are provided within the HostGuardian toolset. These tools allow you to perform remote traceroutes, pings, port scans, web server queries, and so on.

• On-demand tests allow you to verify the results of entries before activating for full monitoring.

• Alerts and notifications can be sent to multiple contacts. This allows an IT group to have multiple people on call.

• Site, Tools, and Monitoring application all built with open-source applications/languages.

• No setup fee.

• Charges are billed automatically through PayPal each month. If you are interested in being invoiced for HostGuardian services, feel free to contact us and we can set that up for you. We offer monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, and annual billing.
