We have just added a new monitoring node to our test network, this time based in Düsseldorf, Germany and sponsored and hosted by AlphaHostPlus (alphahostplus.com).
The node is a Centos powered VPS with 1G memory and is running nicely with 100% uptime and fast response times.
AlphaHostPlus provide a range of Dedicated Servers and Virtual Servers for businesses of all sizes. Every Dedicated Server is provided with a FREE Control Panel (DirectAdmin or ISPManager Lite). Location: Germany, Netherlands and Panama.
We are very pleased to include them in our monitoring network and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership.
We would like to take this opportunity to say that we are always looking for more testing nodes in new geographical locations. If any other hosts are interested in sponsoring test nodes, please contact us.

We have recently added a new node to our monitoring network, based in the UK and sponsored and hosted by VMHosts.co.uk.
VMHosts provide great quality and excellent value VPS hosting in the UK. Powered by the VMware virtualization platform, a VPS hosted by VMHosts can run any OS supported by VMWare.
This new node runs Linux (Centos/RHEL) with half a gig of memory and an AMD Opteron processor and is showing great performance, stability and connectivity.
We are very pleased to include them in our monitoring network and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership.
We would like to take this opportunity to say that we are constantly looking for more testing nodes in new/different geographical locations. If any other hosts are interested in sponsoring test nodes, please contact us.

We now have a WHMCS (a client management, billing & support system) module available which uses the ServerMojo API to fully integrate with your site.
This module should particularly interest web hosting companies using WHMCS for their existing client billing systems. Using this module you can automatically create server monitoring for your clients when they signup.
Full details and file download can be found in the showcase forum.

New feature now available (well actually its been available for a couple of weeks but we forgot to mention it! 
) for “bigbiz” type accounts – along with the existing public & private stats settings you can now also choose semi-public stats!
What this means is that you can provide links to individual monitor stats pages without allowing people to view stats for your other monitors.
To activate this feature just go to your settings page and choose which option you want from the “Statistics” selection box.
More handy new features to be announced next friday!

Big changes are afoot here at ServerMojo HQ as we prepare for v3 of our server and network monitoring service.. a revolution is in the making so dust off the guillotines and sharpen those blades! ServerMojo is rising!
Phase 1:
We are about to roll out a fancy new design for the site which we believe is looking pretty damn snazzy and which may or may not hint at some of the nifty things to come..
Phase 2: Top Secret!
This is the big one, the game changer. The changing of the guard and the arrival of the one monitoring system to rule them all. Call it what you will but quite simply you will not ever again need or want another..
Everyone is talking today about cloud computing – we’re going way beyond clouds, we’re talking an El Niño storm!
If you hurry, you could also get your favourite ‘must have’ feature added to v3! Just post in our new feature requests forum – no promises but we’ll consider all suggestions – we may already have it on our todo list for v3 anyway.
Curious? Me too!
If you want to know more, just signup (free!) for a ServerMojo account now and be on the right side of the barricades when the revolution arrives!

Its the 4th of July and those of you in the US will want to go out celebrating independence day – but do you know if your servers are online while you are out having fun?
You certainly don’t want to be worrying about it while you are out or manually checking every now and then while enjoying the festivities and you also don’t want your site or any part of it to be down all night.
Clearly the solution is automated monitoring with alerts such as provided by our service here at ServerMojo! Setup a bunch of monitors and go out partying safe in the knowledge that if the worst happens you will at least get notice almost immediately and can then take appropriate action to minimize any damage or losses which might otherwise spoil your day.
ServerMojo offers both free and premium monitoring accounts to suit every budget and even premiums come with full featured trials so signup now and give it a try!
Happy Independence Day!

You can now show your uptime/downtime, current status and response times on your site with handy mini charts buttons!
Go to your ServerMojo account and view any of your charts now and you will see a ’share’ link above – just click that to get the code and paste it on your site or anywhere you want.
For example here are the mini charts for Bing..
And this is Google..
The buttons link to your public (if you made them public) stats page for that specific monitor.
The examples above show downtime but you can show uptime instead depending on the setting you chose for your account.

If you like funky charts you’ll love the new detailed http response time charts we just released!
Now you get a choice of response time charts – the old one which shows the total time taken to download the page in a fetching shade of green transitioning to red in the spikes and now the new detailed option which breaks down the response times into: Connect, Request, First Byte & Receive with a different colour for each so you can see at a glance how long each stage of the http download process takes.
To view these fancy new charts just click the “[Simple / Detailed]” link above the chart which allows you to toggle between the formats.
These new charts are a premium accounts feature but for now they are active on all account types including free so enjoy!

As promised a few days ago when we released the ServerMojo API – the documentation is ready! (can’t tell you how much fun it was to write those )
Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask about the API is (hopefully) answered here.. API Documentation and if you still have questions about the API or anything ServerMojo development related you can ask in the developers forum.
Enjoy!

Today we are pleased to announce the release of our API!
All ServerMojo users will now see the API tab after logging in. Click that tab and you will see your API key which you will need to include in all calls to the api scripts. Also displayed there are various statistics on your usage of the api and the daily request quotas.
Full documentation and sample apps will be provided soon (its friday, docs can wait! ) but to get started you can have a look at the api test page here..
https://www.servermojo.com/api/test/
It’s fairly self explanatory – select the api script you want to call, for example ’setstatus_monitor’ which enables/disables a monitor, and the xml required will be displayed which already includes your id and api key. Simply fill in the other required info, in this case just the MonitorID, then press submit and the xml will be sent to the api and the function will be executed – note this test page does actually perform the actions for real so don’t go deleting your monitors by mistake!
The actual api script called is displayed on the top right corner of the test page and that is what you should submit the xml to from your own scripts.
Some of the api scripts have a field called ForeignKey – this is optional so you can safely ignore that. It is actually to allow you to use your own internal id’s when working with ServerMojo items. This and other things will be explained further in the docs soon.
Using the API you can now fully integrate ServerMojo with your systems – create and update monitors and sub-accounts, get stats including charts, pause a monitor (for example while running a scheduled task on your server) and more.
Have fun with it and if you have any questions or suggestions, give us a shout.
