Instead what happens is you wake up and there are no orders.  Your heart pounds slightly in fear.  You try to tell yourself it's not a big deal - there is a rational explanation.  You check your messages and see 34 emails from customers like this:

At first you're sad.  You feel like you've failed.  What could you have done?

Then you get angry.  You find out that it wasn't your fault, but the fault of your web host!  They promised you 99.9% up time - how could they have been down for a whole day?

When you call your hosting company, angrily expecting to find out that their entire network crashed, you are surprised by what you hear.  Some smarmy kid answers the phone, talks to you like you're an idiot, and says accusingly, "Oh, well your FLIZDEWHUZBIT wasn't configured properly.  Try it now.  You're back up."

What?  Is that all it took?  You have no idea what a "flizdewhuzbit" is, but you're somehow annoyed that it was that simple.  There's something really unpleasant about having an emotionally nerve-wracking experience brushed aside so simply by an unfriendly tech support guy.

FACT: 9 times out of 10, when there is a problem on your site, it's a minor configuration error that can be corrected in a few moments.

Most errors are things that can be fixed in moments by you or your webhost.  Even though these little problems are easy to fix, just one of them can ruin your business.  Even a tiny broken link can prevent your customers from being able to buy.  If they can't buy - you lose money.

FACT: If you knew the moment there was a problem on your site, you could save hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue each time.

Think about it.  Rather than waking up the next morning and finding out how much money you've lost, what if you knew the very moment your site was down?  You'd spend 5 minutes fixing it, and go back to sleep content, of course - confident that everything was working smoothly.

FACT: Websites do down for short periods of time all the time without you even knowing about it.  If you don't get this resolved with your webhost or technical staff, this kind of thing can slowly bleed your business to death.  Only with an enterprise level monitoring solution like Virtual WebScout can you really have full confidence that down time is not bleeding your company dry.

FACT: Virtual WebScout lets you know the minute there is any problem with your website.  Site down?  VWS tells you instantly.  Link broken?  VWS let's you know the very moment it happens.  Page Missing?  VWS hunts those pages down.  CGI script not functioning?  VWS tests them for you constantly to make sure they're working.

How Does Virtual WebScout Work?

It's like having a 24 hour monitoring service checking your pages constantly to make sure everything is OK.

Virtual WebScout is a Windows program that checks your website(s) as often as you like. You install it on any machine you like, tell it what to check and how often, and then let it worry about your websites - while you do more important things (or just rest).

Here are just a few of the great features:

"How can you offer such a cost effective solution?  Your competitors do much less for a higher price."

 That's a great question.  When other monitoring solutions are so limited and do so little for such a high price, it's hard to believe that we can offer such a comprehensive service for such a low price.

Our secret is our proprietary technology that allows you to run the monitoring from your own machine(s).  Since you use our technology on your own local Windows machines, our costs are much lower. 

Virtual WebScout is better, more flexible, more powerful and priced more cost effectively than other currently available competitive products, including the following ways:

	1) Virtual WebScout supports the automatic monitoring of your customers web sites / pages via: Quick “Ping” Finding any “string” in a monitored web page - which is extremely useful and powerful in verifying that all of the Affiliates in an Affiliate Program have placed their Affiliate Link (code) for your Affiliate Program on their web page(s) and/or that your Reciprocal Link Partners have in fact placed a link to your web site on their web pages! “Spidering” web site(s) / page(s) to any (user controlled) depth
	2) The ability to schedule any Task to run automatically and/or execute any Task upon demand. (without the restrictions of using Windows “Scheduled Tasks”)
	3) Send email Alerts to any number of different email addresses for each Task 4) Launch any external program upon detection of an issue.

5) Save time and effort by generating Virtual WebScout Task definitions file(s) from the information in your Affiliate, customer, etc. database(s)

6) The ability to immediately view the details of any Task failures, which allows the user to quickly and easily identify and resolve any issues with their web site(s) / page(s)

7) Detailed Logs of all monitoring Tasks

8) All Task definitions and scheduling may be quickly and easily updated and controlled from a single easy to use graphical user interface (GUI)
