MuSeSPinger, our oldest project, gets reloaded in an all-new contraption!
Our oldest project MuSeSPinger gets a major upgrade!
Huh? What's MuSeSPinger? MuSeSPinger stands for Multiple Server Status Pinger. You can check websites to see if they are online or offline by the masses.?
Why We Made MuSeSPinger Wa-a-ay back in 2008, Deltik was hosted on a webhost called IsMyWebsite. IsMyWebsite was a unique webhost in that it had 16 servers called nodes. The nodes hosted different websites. We created a tool called IsMyWebsite Node Status Checker (IMWNSC), which was a hard-coded system that checked the status of all the nodes.
Over time, IMWNSC evolved from its narrow purpose into MuSeSPinger. MuSeSPinger was then improved and expanded.
The First of Its Kind You may think that we have reinvented the wheel because there are plenty of other services that check to see whether a website is online like Down For Everyone Or Just Me? and CheckSite.us. MuSeSPinger is the first and only service that can:
check multiple URLs at the same time,
render an image that shows the status of multiple URLs, and
use a mirror network to check multiple URLs.
In addition to those unique core features, MuSeSPinger has:
a streamlined interface,
its source code available to anyone,
three different methods of checking URLs,
a user-friendly administration control panel, and
almost three years of dedicated support from Deltik.
