Pingdom has launched Pingdom Tools, a free set of utilities for webmasters to complement our uptime monitoring service. First out is the Full Page Test, which tests the load time of a web page including all its objects (images, scripts, CSS files, etc).
Not only that, all the linked objects will be shown individually in a detailed graph. Web pages are loaded in a way that mimics the way web browsers work.
More tools will be added over time. You can expect a very cool and useful set of utilities for webmasters and other people interested in how the web works. And it will all be free.
What are you waiting for? Go to Pingdom Tools and have a look.
We have lowered the price for extra checks from $2 to $0.50 per month. Pingdom has always had very competitive prices, and now we easily provide best-in-business value for money. Now you can monitor the uptime of even more servers, websites and services without burning a hole in your wallet.
Take this opportunity to monitor every aspect of your infrastructure, including Web servers, websites, email servers, FTP servers, etc. Try doing this with any of our competitors and it will most likely end up costing you hundreds, potentially even thousands, of dollars every year. Not only do they charge for the number of monitored servers, they also charge extra for higher monitoring resolutions (how often your servers are checked). Pingdom provides a fixed price of $0.50 per check independent of monitoring resolution.
Now anyone can try out Pingdom’s popular website monitoring service for 30 days for free and with absolutely zero commitment. There is no need for a credit card or actively canceling your subscription at the end of the period.
We aimed to create the best trial the market has to offer, and for the end users to really have a chance to try Pingdom out. We even give away 20 free SMS alerts.
Go sign up for a completely free trial!

Red carpet, please... Royal, Pingdom’s new, slightly informal company blog has arrived. We are also looking for a graphic designer, something you can read more about at the blog.
We have now launched our new, in-house-developed Pingdom control panel, a custom-made fit to our services that should make all our customers very happy. We named it Pingdom Panel.
Great new features will be added continuously throughout the summer, so keep your eyes open!
