It’s been a while since we’ve thrown a new feature at you guys, but the wait is over! For our premium accounts, you now get the ability to set additional email addresses for site notifications.
Just put a comma-separated string in that area of your Settings and you are good to go. This is a premium only feature. Premium Standard gets 2 additional (so three total), Plus gets 5 additional, and Pro gets 10 additional.
In the past I’ve told people to set up mail filters to automatically forward site notification emails to multiple other emails. No more!
Enjoy!

We are one of the sponsors for Better Business 2010, a major contest put on by the guys at Page Lime. The idea is to have two lucky winners win a HUGE set of tools to make their business better. So all the prizes are very usable toward that end. Over $4,000 in prizes! Check it out:
Head on over for info on how to enter.

Howdy folks! We know we’ve been quiet a while. That’ll happen. We don’t have any majorly excited new features to announce, we’ve been working on the the best feature of all: speed and stability.
But that’s now why I’m writing now. I’m writing to fill you in on a few recent updates:
Free users, log in every 2 months
Remember a few months ago we sent out an email to all free users asking them to log in to keep their account active? Well we did that again, only this time it’s automated. All we ask is that you log in to your free account every 2 months to keep it active. If you haven’t logged in in one month, you’ll get a reminder. After 7 weeks, another reminder, then at 2 months with no log in we close the account. Premium account members do not have to do this.
Premium renewals
We launched in January 2009. Soon it will be January 2010. That means we will soon be coming upon the time where premium accounts are due for renewals. Two weeks before your premium account is due, you’ll get an email about it. You can then log in, go under your Settings tab, and click a button to renew. We will then add another year of time to your account. That’s all it takes! If you don’t renew, you’ll get a short grace period, and then the account will be suspended and sites will be moved out of site checking rotation. But your account will never be deleted. You’ll always be able to log in and reactivate it.
AMSU 2.6.2
The premium iPhone app has gone 2.6.2, which now includes messaging for the possibility that a premium account has been suspended due to non-payment.

Nice little update to the iPhone apps is now available for download. Version 2.6 now has an in-app browser so you can click a site and tap the “View” button on the bottom to load your site so you can see what’s up. There is also a new “Refresh” button in the menu bar to refresh the current status of all your sites (although note that it doesn’t perform a site check when you press this button, it just gets the current status from your account, site checks still run on their scheduled rotation based on your current plan).

All of our non-premium users recently got an email from us asking you to log in. Yes, that was really from us! In an effort to keep our servers humming along, we are just asking that active users log into their account every few months so we know that you are active and using the service. This way any spam accounts that make it through, or people that signed up but don’t really use it can be trimmed away making things faster for everyone else. Things are already cruising along much faster!
If you log in once in a while, you’ll never notice anything. If you go dormant for a few months, you’ll get an email from us asking you to log in. If you don’t the account will eventually be deleted.
Again this is only for the free users and doesn’t not apply to Premium accounts.

There is now a desktop application for Are My Sites Up! Many thanks to the Adobe AIR programmer r0mk1n for creating it. Because it’s built on AIR, it should run on any platform.
This application is FREE for all users. GO TO INSTALL PAGE

Thanks to the folks at Startup Schwag for having us as the T-Shirt of the Month this July!
I’m not yet sure if they are going to have any extras for individual sale, but when I find out I’ll update this.

The new code is in to allow for checking of secure sites (https). This has been the #1 requested feature by our users, and it feels great to have it ready for you! This is a premium-only feature, and comes with any of the premium plans.

We just added two new carriers. Cellcom and FIDO (a subsidiary of Rogers in Canada). Hopefully this will cover a few more of you waiting for these carriers. Remember if we currently don’t support your carrier, there are a few options. If Twitter DOES support SMS for you, you could use the Twitter integration in the Plus or Pro plans as a workaround. If you are an iPhone owner and have a premium plan, the Push notifications for that pretty much obsolete SMS as well, so consider that!

Apple just approved AMSU 2.5.2. I know it feels like it has been forever since we started this saga around 3 weeks ago (I’ve been working really hard to get things working properly for awhile now, and every time I installed a new version from the App Store where Push was supposed to be enabled, I nearly bit my nails off from nervousness), but I’m happy to announce that AMSU 2.5.2 for the iPhone is upon us, and Push is active! When you install/upgrade the app, you’ll get a screen that looks a bit like this:
Click OK, and Push will be enabled.
AMSU 2.5.2 is free for all AreMySitesUp Premium users, and is available at http://tinyurl.com/aremysitesup. If you don’t have a Premium account, don’t worry, we have AMSU Lite just for you, and it is available at http://tinyurl.com/aremysitesuplite
If you have any issues, just let us know using the contact form at http://aremysitesup.com/contact/.
