Don't you just hate it when you visit a web site (especially your own), and it doesn't come up?

If it is someone else's site, you usually just go visit another.

But if it is your own site, you start to worry.

You wonder "Is my site down? Or is it my internet connection?".

There is a quick way to find out.

Using the free http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com , you can enter a web site address and quickly discover if the site is truely down, or if it is just your own internet connection.

Checking http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com before you contact support can help you pinpoint the problem, and help you decide what to do next.

Another free, and related resource is the Internet Traffic Report found at http://internettrafficreport.com/

You can use that site to see the overall condition of the internet, as well as internet conditions country by country.

You won't use these sites every day, but when you need them, it is nice to know where to find them.
