Those 36 hours that we're credited with are from some guy who didn't pay his bills. Yes Choker, when someone doesn't pay their bills, we cut them off whether they're running your downtime script or not. Now because we're running our business properly, we get "check marks" from you.
I now have pissed off clients and questionable potential clients because of your "helpful" site. You're damaging my business because of false information represented by you.

Here's a scenario for you: say I buy some traffic from you, straight United States traffic (this is hypothetical, I don't know your regional restrictions.) Traffic starts coming to my galleries and I notice some Chinese traffic coming in to (some Chinese site took my gallery and I didn't notice it) my gallery. Now I'm pissed off because I think you're sending me Chinese traffic. I build a quick site to rate the various traffic brokers I buy from. Right next to your link I put a big fat notice "SENDS CHINESE TRAFFIC". I proceed to show all my friends. You lose business and current clients.
How happy would you be?

I'd like to shed some light in betterbeup.com downtime detection logic.
- if plugin is removed from server (that's what hoster usualy would do - remove all files form website of non-payer, gets 404 error), then it's not treated as downtime. In the domain list - there is yellow light, no notifications are sent.
- if DNS domain is removed, message is sent to webmaster and that domain is deleted from database.
- if connection cannot be established with server, it's a red alert and warning is sent to webmaster
- if everything is ok, but mysql cannot be contacted on server, it's red alert for mysql, notification is sent to webmaster.
- if DNS domain is removed - it is not considered as downtime
If you have any ideas how to improve this, post them here:
