A Quick Way To See If a Website Is Down For Everyone or Just You
“Down for everyone or just me?” is a great little website created by Twitter developer Alex Payne that helps you check to see if a website is down for everyone or just you. For instance a website might be up, but you could be having connectivity problems with your ISP or local network.
We’ve started giving this link to our web hosting customers as one of the resources to use for troubleshooting when they think one of our servers is down, but it is actually a connectivity issue on their end.

Great tool - who hasn’t asked that EXACT question!
You may have to try using the site more than once! The first time I tried it I was notified that my site was really down when it wasn’t. I immediately tried it again and it (correctly) indicated that it was up.

Ironically, the site is down.

You might want to add this link to the laughingsquid wordpress.com blogroll–the knitster folks know to go there when they are having problems.

Helen, we added a link to it from our server status page.

is it really wise to use a “web site” to check if it is the “web site” or your connection that is at fault?
