DownForMe.org answers this question with a new free service for online users to check if a website is down. While there are many variables that would prevent a single user from accessing a certain website, DownForMe.org does its part to help determine if a website outage is widespread by using an easy search feature on their website. After entering the website name or IP Address in the search box, a quick click of the verify button and you can check the status of a website and see if it is online or not.

This service is quite helpful if you are experiencing trouble accessing a website from your browser. You can verify if a website is really down and is experiencing long term outages, or if it is simply something on your end that needs a second check like your local computer firewall or regional area restrictions that some countries impose blockages for. The best concept on how this website will benefit the Internet comes from an excerpt on their homepage. "DownForMe.org is the best place online to see if a website is down for just you, or if it is actually down for everyone. With the huge growth of the Internet, and new websites being launched everyday, DownForMe.org helps confirm when websites are offline so you will know!".
