I wrote this little program for myself to check the status of multiple sites. A lot of people have more than one site so i figured this would be handy for others as well. Hope it is of use :)

Basically it will check each site to see if it is working or down. It will do this every x seconds, depending on how long you set the timer. So for example it will check each site in the list every 10 minutes. Its more or less a a desktop up-time monitor.

Has a time-based re-check which you can set.

List of Status codes (also available in the application):

Update:
- Added better status description.
- Multiple site add / remove
- auto-append http:// to url's without it.

KNOWN BUG(?): openDNS steals your error 404 pages. So if you use openDNS, you will get a redirect page instead of an error 404. Ill add a routine to check for the redirect url to get around it.

green = fine. orange = warning, red = bad.

The only problem is if you use OpenDNS, what should be a 404 not found will be a 302 redirect because it jacks your 404 pages.
 
Nice app. This is pretty cool. How hard would it be to add loads of sites at a time. ie. If we could paste say 20 or more sites into the app in one go.

Reason for my thinking:
I recently coded a php script to do something very similar and run through all the listed sites in an old DDL database to check their status and see how many of the sites had being taken offline. Pasting one domain at a time into this app would just take too long and not be worth it.

Also I know lots of uploaders who have large lists of warez sites where it could be useful to check their status too.

EDIT: Jayfella I could never find a way to check if sites have expired. Do you know if their's any easy way to check if sites have expired. eg http://cyberjunkie.info/ as they return 200 status.
 
Sure Mr Happy ill add an option for multiple sites. Regarding "expired domains" ... ill have to have a think about that. Im sure there is a way. Keyword searching maybe.
