About our Advanced Monitoring
Without a sophisticated monitoring, alerting and recovery solution, critical network services or devices could fail without so much as a peep. Worse, if a network crash occurs over a holiday or weekend period, you could be out of commission for hours—even days—before you discover the problem. CFXHosting utilizes advanced monitoring solutions to ensure that your site and server are continuously available. In the event that a problem should arise, our highly trained staff is immediately notified so that they can implement a solution and minimize downtime.CFXHosting's comprehensive set of tools includes support for 42 different protocols, 10 Quality Assurance monitors, and 11 different notification and recovery methods.
