....testimonials

Last October I received several complaints from users that my store was slow and at times unavailable. I didn't think much of it but to be safe I setup some free website monitors from WebsiteHawk.com. To my astonishment my site was actually going down for 5-10 minutes several times per day. I never noticed this was happening and my hosting company was not aware of it either.

Naturally my hosting company didn't believe me and wanted to put me through the "delete all your cookies and reboot" ringer until I showed them the collection of email from WebsiteHawk.com at which time I was immediately escalated and received proper attention from their server admins.

I saved hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars by addressing my server problems early in the holiday season and I owe it all to WebsiteHawk's free monitors.

I have several "link exchanges" and ads setup with partners and although I do trust them I need a way to verify that my links are posted on the pages we have agreed to. Websitehawk.com free content match monitors are the perfect tool for the job. I can cover advertisements, wikis, and other links 24x7 for free! Thank you Websitehawk.
