Sweet! Thanks Sly! I'd need the 500 site option as I'm up to about 180 now but I can't justify the cost here based on my gross revenue. What I should do is scale down to what makes me money and cut costs on the sites that do not.

You could do the small package and put one instance on each of your servers. You likely would not need an instance on every single site, particularly if they are small. I'm sure there are also free packages out there. Look around, maybe you can get 10 free packages and cover everything.

Code:

<?php
function is_site_down($site, $timeout = 10)
{
	if(!filter_var($site, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))
	{
		return TRUE;
	}
	$curl = curl_init($site);
	curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
	curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
	curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_NOBODY, TRUE);
	curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
	$response = curl_exec($curl);
	curl_close($curl);
	if ($response)
	{
		return FALSE;
	}
	return TRUE;
}

if (is_site_down('http://www.example.com'))
{
	echo 'Site is down, yo.';
}
else
{
	echo 'Site is up, bruh!';
}
?>

I might try this. 1 per server. They likely all go down if one does. I just want to know if it goes down that's all.

This looks a bit complicated.

Better off paying $9.95 probably right?
