Congratulations! You are about to enter the EXPERTMONITOR account registration process.

Please familiarize yourself with the options available in our three types of service plans listed to the left. The three most significant options when selecting a service plan are explained below.

Number of Monitors Servers perform different functions, and we provide a range of Monitors for the most common server functions. You will need a different Monitor for each type of test you set up on each Server. (5, 10, 25, or more) For instance, two monitors would be required to set up an HTTP Monitor and an FTP Monitor on the same server.

Monitor Frequency Each Monitor's frequency may be set for once every 24 hours or once every several minutes. The longer the frequency, the longer it can take to detect a problem. For example, if your Monitor is set to run once an hour on the hour, and your server goes down at 7:15pm, you won't get a notification until the next check at 8pm.

Types of Monitors Based on the business functions that your servers perform, you may select the specific Monitor types that you will need. (examples: HTTP, FTP, SMTP). Certain advanced Monitors such as HTTPS and DNS are only available with the larger packages.

Often a single physical machine will have a number of different software applications running on it that can be tested. For example, many packaged server solutions these days come with a web server (HTTP), file server (FTP), and mail server (SMTP, POP) preconfigured and running.
