What is Check Host?

Check Host

Check Host is a super simple software that helps you check if a certain IP address or hostname is up and running. It's lightweight, so it won’t slow down your computer, and it’s really easy to use. You can quickly find out if something is down without any hassle.

Getting Started with Check Host

Once you install it, which only takes a few minutes with no tricky steps involved, you’re ready to go! Just add the addresses you want to keep an eye on. It's great for anyone, even if you're not super tech-savvy.

User-Friendly Interface

The interface might not win any design awards, but it’s straightforward enough for everyone. You can navigate through the app with just a few clicks, making it easy to check your connections.

How to Add Addresses

To get started checking an address, you simply type in a description and the hostname or IP address. Then you pick how you want to check it: either by using 'Ping' or 'Socket Connection'. If you choose 'Socket Connection', don’t forget to set up your socket settings by selecting TCP or UDP and entering the correct port number!

Customize Your Checks

You can even control how often Check Host checks the status of your addresses! Just type in how many seconds you'd like between each check. You also get to set a 'Timeout' duration in milliseconds—super flexible!

Notifications Made Easy

This tool keeps you in the loop when something goes wrong. It can send alerts directly to your desktop or even via email! Just enter your email address, and you'll know right away if there's an issue. Plus, there’s an option to run a program until everything is back online again.

Keep Track of Activity

Want to see what happened during checks? No problem! Check Host can log all its activities into a file so you can review them later. This way, if there were any ups and downs in your connections, you'll have all the details handy.

Your Go-To Monitoring Tool

In summary, Check Host is an effective little application that helps monitor website availability through hostnames or IP addresses. You'll be alerted right away when something's not working, so you can jump into action and fix things!
