September 23, 2008, San Jose, CA – Monitis, a leading provider of website monitoring, today released a domain suggestion service that eases the difficulty of finding relevant and available domain names. Using this analysis engine combines dictionaries and thesauruses of multiple languages with linguistic methods. This way businesses can use AptDomain.name to easily find unique and targeted domain names for their online presence.
AptDomain tackles one of the most challenging tasks of setting up an online presence: choosing a desirable domain name that is relevant, linguistically appropriate, and attractive. Businesses often report that because the best domain names are already taken, the process of finding a usable domain name is difficult and tedious.
The AptDomain domain suggestion engine takes keywords entered by the user and applies possible grammatical combinations using prefixes and suffixes. It also searches for synonyms in the multi-lingual dictionary and can transliterate foreign languages into English letters. AptDomain.com uses multi-lingual resources to determine the most appropriate and attractive domain names. Users can choose from a resulting list of recommendations or enter new keywords to change the recommendations. If one of the recommendations is suitable, AptDomain makes it simple to purchase through a one-click process. Domain names ending in .COM cost $6.95 and those ending in .INFO are only $1.98. Other domain name endings are also available.
Use of the AptDomain domain (http://aptdomain.name) suggestion service is free; it currently supports English, French, German, Spanish, and Russian.

Monitis Inc., a leading provider in monitoring websites, servers, network and applications, announces a new unlimited plan for Webmasters. This unprecedented offer allows monitoring of dedicated or virtual private servers (VPS) and web sites at one low flat fee regardless of the number of checks, hosted applications and domain names.
Professional Webmasters often use dedicated or virtual private servers (VPS) to host several web sites and applications per single server. According to usage analysis data from Mon.itor.Us, 20% percent of HTTP monitors check more than one URL per single server/IP. There are cases that check up to 194 URLs per a server. From those who use multiple hosts per server, 20% have 4 and more monitoring hosts per server.
Webmaster Unlimited addresses the need for monitoring multiple hosts per server. Monitis new plan allows unlimited external web experience and internal resource monitoring per server. Currently, Webmasters pay to monitor every single check! Monitis allows Webmasters to add as many checks/URLs per server as needed and gain full control over multiple hosted applications, availability and performance. With name-based virtual hosting, the server relies on the client to report the hostname as a part of the HTTP headers. Using this technique, many different hosts can share the same IP address. Webmasters can host 100+ websites and email servers with higher end servers.
Unlimited numbers of checks are possible for both external end-to-end user experience monitoring, and for server resource monitoring to include: CPU, memory, and storage. Webmasters can monitor any number of server processes (for example Apache web server, Java/PHP processes, Tomcat, IIS, etc.) and set thresholds for warning notifications. They can also check performance and uptime for databases and email servers. Server monitoring has both agent based and agentless monitors. Agents are available for Linux, Windows and Sun servers.
Monitis Webmaster Unlimited is priced competitively. At $49.98 per month per server or $498 per year users can have several hundred monitors per single IP, making the price per monitor one of the lowest. Check frequency can be set from 1 min to 60 min intervals without any limitations. The lower the check interval, the sooner Webmasters will be notified about the outage, reaching a better uptime and user experience.
For customers who signup during September, Monitis introduces a special introductory price at $298/year per server (save $200!).
