Important Information

SiteMonitorCentral is a tool that can prevent your website from going belly up, thus causing major losses to you company. Usually, you have to face server problems and bandwidth problems resulting in a lack of proper communication with your client and thereby causing your business to suffer serious setbacks. SiteMonitorCentral constantly monitors the working of your website, resolves your problems and allows ease of traffic. To troubleshoot internet problems you have to keep in mind the following factors:

Check Your IP Address: Constantly monitor your IP address for any problems. Unless you have a correct scheme, you will face serious issues. If you are not receiving data, then that means there is something wrong with the IP address and it needs to be rectified. If you are not able to connect to a particular IP address or a particular host address, you have problems with your TCP/IP network protocol; this is a basic connectivity problem in your network. Most of the time you can resolve this issue by clicking on the information link to correct IP address problems. If you are still unable to able to connect to a specified network, you can check the configuration of your TCP/IP. If even then your problems are not resolved then check the other points in the article.

Correct Subnet Mask: If you are a person who needs to use the internet for long periods, then you can make use of a subnet more efficiently. Your IP address contains two components called the network address and the IP address. The subnet manages internet routing tables and separates the host address and the IP address. It will find out where the problems arise and resolve them soon enough. You should make use of a subnet mask if you take the security problems of your computer network seriously. The software, SiteMonitor Central provides subnet masks too.

Gateway IP address: Unless you have the correct default IP address, you will face connectivity problems. Just as you have huge gates to your home, the gateway IP address is a node that allows your data entry into the network. It is a device provided by your internet service provider to connect to the internet. It also acts as a sentry, so it could be called a firewall and a proxy server. All computers constantly face the threat of virus and spam attacks. With a firewall, you will be notified in advance when you are 'spammed' or attacked by viruses, you will be asked for suggestions on what to do about that data. A proxy server observes the workings of the real server and sees if the client applications are fulfilled. This is where the SiteMonitorCentral tool helps you. It monitors the kind of data coming into the host server and prevents unauthorized data from entering your network. This gateway helps you to connect with various networks so you can keep sending data back and forth.

Domain Name System: The major role of the DNS is to translate domain names into corresponding IP addresses. The DNS server or the host server in your company responds to different queries that it receives from various domains. Then it proceeds to locate that website with the help of data it receives, mainly the exact location of the web-hosting server with the help of the IP address of that server. Once the website is located, the DNS server responds with the IP address of that server. Your internet service provider will provide DNS with your internet connection set up. All DNS servers are arranged in a form of hierarchy and they communicate with each other through a separate set of network protocols. Depending on which IPS you are using, you may encounter problems with your domain name system server. Network problems can also affect DNS servers causing them to stop responding to client requests. Most often this is the basic problem with a DNS, so when you have problems, you can start troubleshooting there. When your DNS server is not communicating with similar servers, you might have problems. This should be rectified. Sometimes a DNS server answers successfully but it provides the wrong data for those queries. For the correct deployment and management of DNS servers, you need to have an efficient tool like the SiteMonitorCentral.

Pinging: With this utility tool, you can address network problems. It helps you to reach remote web servers across the network. Once the network connection is established, a ping test will observe how long of a delay it takes one computer to communicate with another computer. This connection latency, a term for delay is established and recorded. You do a ping test to resolve most of the connectivity problems in your network. The delay in communication is recorded in numbers. To conduct a ping test you must know the IP address of the website you are trying to track or at least the name of the site. Microsoft comes with their own set of ping tools but for optimal functioning, You need to enlist the service of external tools that provide pinging, this is where SiteMonitor Central comes in the picture. The result of a ping test depends largely on the type of internet connection you have. It is great if you have a reliable broadband connection but satellite internet connections take more time if there are interruptions of any sort.

Most of the time it will be the DNS that prevents you to access a website. To fix this problem, you can first 'ping' a site. If a site is not active anymore, you will get an answer that the required site cannot find that host and you need to try again. If you ping a site you are not able to connect to and find out that it is indeed live then you have DNS problems and you need competent software like SiteMonitorCentral. Ping tools work with different operating systems like Windows, Mac, Linux and even some gaming consoles.

To drive traffic to your website and respond to client queries, you need to resolve all bandwidth and connectivity issues. Your company may constantly deal with all kinds of data coming back and forth, including audio, video or huge page downloads so you need to resolve all kinds of bandwidth problems to get ahead in the game. You will not want lose your internet connection even for an hour if it means losing a prospective client. There are periods in a day when the bandwidth is heavily used so the goal of this tool, SiteMonitor Central, is to maximize the quality of service during such periods. Here are some solutions to common bandwidth problems:

• Check if the connection cables are plugged in properly and all the lights in the modem are lit up. Switching the modem on or off often works miracles. It sounds silly, but this usually works.

• Make sure that the modem or router is not placed near your cordless phone or other sources of electrical energy. This is to avoid radio signals from interfering with the frequency.

• Check your firewall services to see that it is not hindering your website from opening to either you or your clients.

• “Bandwidth Management” protocols can prevent congestions and blockages of different data and information.

I had no clue that my old hosting company had such a horrible server and was costing me HUGE losses. Since monitoring their performance I have since moved to a recommended host and my earnings have since quadrupled.
