Main functionality

RanMon lets you set the ping frequency (time between attempts), number of HTTP connections (number of pings to send), and connection timeout.
During the monitoring process, you can view details, such as the number of passed and failed connections, domain status, starting date, IP, host's address, and ping response time in milliseconds.
Unfortunately, you can monitor domains only by using the website name, since it doesn't support IP addresses. Furthermore, you have to manually save your logs, since it has no autosave log feature.
