Pingstatus is a free, open-source, cross-platform, real-time application for Windows operating systems. Pingstatus is an ideal tool to test your website's bandwidth usage in order to ensure that you're not wasting bandwidth and unnecessarily paying for additional resources. However, in the past, Pingstatus did not have some of the capabilities that are available today. That means that you had to either pay for a commercial version to download, or have your own program installed on your system, which would translate the information from your server into a usable format on your local machine. Now, however, a new version called Pingsidium has been released with many new features that make it easier than ever to use and provides free unlimited access to your data via the Internet.
The new version is built on the framework that makes up the popular Internet monitoring software Ping. The code is written in C++ and is made available under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which means that anyone can download and use the code as long as they don't alter it in any way. And, as long as they leave the original file intact they can port the program to other platforms such as Linux, Solaris, and others. Because of this ease of use and portability, Ping Status is now used by small businesses, individuals, and web hosting providers alike.
As if that wasn't enough, there is also a freeware alternative to Pingstatus called Pingware. With this application you can create unlimited number of free websites and quickly and easily monitor their performance. The best part about this application is that it works with both windows and Mac computers. And, because it's free software, people all over the world can freely download it and try it out. In addition, the code is constantly being updated so that you can get the most current information about your web pages, websites, servers, and software.
