Host the Best (hostthebest.com), software developer and Web hosting provider, on September 14, 2007 has released HTB Monitoring Script version 1.7, enabling users to operate their own, private-labeled Web site monitoring and server uptime service. The script, priced at $129.99 for an owned license, includes a range of features that enable users to start their own accurate, detailed monitoring services. Features include detailed member lists and member administration, integrated payment tools, templating support to allow for vast customization and a fully-featured administration panel that enables users to control nearly every aspect of their service.

"One of the priorities of our software development team is to create software that not only works well, but also that raises the bar of competition in the industry," said Andy Candelario, Host the Best director of business development. "In this case, with HTB Monitoring Script version 1.7, we are giving some of the popular monitoring services, like Hyperspin and Alerta, a true run for their money. With our script, our customers can virtually mimic these services and go one step further. It's a very sought-after service and we are confident our customers will continue to be prosperous in running their own monitoring services."

HTB Monitoring script has multiple monitoring capabilities for a range of different services and protocols, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, SSL, DNS, FTP, MySQL, IMAP and TCP custom ports. Users of the script can monitor at several different intervals, including intervals of 2, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. When downtime or a problem is detected, users will be automatically notified via email or SMS message.

Host The Best originally released the software earlier this year, and plans to introduce additional updates in the coming months.
