Keeping Web Applications Running Ain't Easy

 | 

Don't believe me?  Check out some of the entries on the Pingdom Outages Blog.  Pingdom is an independent service that we've recently started using to monitor our website so that our users can quickly see if we are up or down and how often we have problems.  (Here's our current Pingdom report.) 

So far, knock on wood, StockCharts.com has managed to avoid getting written up on Pingdom's Outages Blog but it's sobering to see the large number of popular sites that do have entries there.  We've had problems in the past and we may well have them again some day - but we're working hard to keep our current uptime rating in that report as high as possible.  You'll also want to check out our new "Status" blog for the latest info on the health of our servers.
