(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 14, 2001 ) “We went down for almost a month earlier this year,” says Yvon Savoie, webmaster of CorgiAid Inc. “We are a very small nonprofit, with volunteer staff and donated webhosting. What we didn’t know is that our host’s co-locator had shut down, skipped town, and the servers were locked up and turned off. We found out after being down well over a week. It took us days to get back up and running. What a horror story! People were calling and emailing to find out if we had gone out of business!” CorgiAid is a foundation providing medical expenses to rescuers of corgi dogs worldwide.

Website downtime is a common problem that seriously affects small nonprofits, especially when they have no other presence than their website. 247 Sitewatch, http://247sitewatch.com, offers free site monitoring to nonprofit organizations, foundations, and agencies to prevent repeats of this cautionary tale. 247 Sitewatch monitors http://www.corgiaid.org.
