Hi,
I am looking for a way to check if an external website is up and accepting connections. what is the best scenario for this? Ping will not work for me as the host might respond to ping but the actual web-page is not working.
To simplify, I have a website and I want to be able to see if it is up and working or not. I just discovered that the website was hacked since more than a month and been down ever since, and I want a way to monitor its status if something like this happens again.
Thanks in advance
