WatchTowerHQ Website Monitoring: Done Right Fed up with using tools that get sold to GoDaddy, lose their founding team, and slowly die? Tired of half-assed customer service that takes 72-144 hours to get a response? Looking for one solution to cut the costs of many tools? Our founding team is intact and not only focused on a world-class customer service experience, we’re focused on making WatchTowerHQ the best tool agencies and companies turn to when managing multiple websites. Automated Updates Set it and forget it by scheduling WordPress theme and plugin updates in advance. Every Tuesday at 7am? Not a problem with WatchTowerHQ Performance Insights Wondering why no one stays on your website? It’s probably because it’s slow…like Ford Fiesta slow. Figure out what you need to do to transform it into the Porsche it deserves to be. Daily Backups Take them daily, store them for a year. Don’t be at the mercy of the intern who accidentally deleted all of your blog posts from the last 6 years. Restore them quickly from one of your backups. Automate these as you would like, or take them manually. Historical Data Tracking A snapshot in time is great for some. You’re not some. Most are like you, they want to see how data looks over time. Screen shots from last May? Easy peasy. Site speed today relative to 2 months ago? One click. Notifications? We’ve got you covered. You control who gets alerts, which alerts they get, and when. All for you to control within your account. Domain and SSL Registration Monitoring The dreaded call from a client at 12:47am when they realize their domain has expired and a 12 year old North Korean is holding it hostage for 72 BTC. Don’t let that happen to you or your clients. Always know when your domain or SSL certificate are about to expire so you can proactively renew.
