This tool may not reflect the right info because of our firewall and problems with intermediate hosts.

Being I listed 4 complete different tools...
you care to be specific in stating 'which' tool wont work.

Cause NetMechanic ServerCheck 'does' work on my
accounts and so does InternetSeer Web Site Monitoring Service.

And I also use http://www.dnsstuff.com/
to check my sites

once again hostony goes out of its way to be clear.

lol thx

iF hOSTONY firewall IS BLOCKING PINGS,
which I think is a new BS story to cover up for servers NOT being online.

Maybe hostony 'firewall' is the problem......

this site http://www.dnsstuff.com/
has been refered to us by hostony hundreds of times to use
to check our server staus..... now your gonna claim your firewall is
not going to allow it. I smell BS

We do not blaim our firewall.
I've just told you the reasons why your tool can face problems with reflecting the right info about the server.

Why O why would this tool fail? It sounds like Tinfoil hat paranoia from hostony. The monitoring tool checks for HTTP, POP3, SMTP connectivity, not a ping. If your firewall was blocking any of those, then well... I wont go there.. I might end up calling someone a moron.

Dear JasonJones,

Maybe this will help you to understand why the pinging and etc are limited by the most of the providers.

Our Firewall is loaded at the moment

Our firewall isn't loaded at the moment but some of the inermediate hosts are using firewalls.

Sources say the one-hour attack, which was hardly noticeable to the average end-user, was done via ICMP requests (ping-flooding) to the root servers. In a typical DDoS attack, hundreds of "drone" machines are used to remotely pound IP addresses. While the common ping program sends on 64-byte datagram per second, "ping flooding" attacks can emit ICMP echo requests at the highest possible frequency, experts explained.

BTW There are maybe something wrong with your server monitor or internet service provider.
