SIMPLE WEBSITE MONITOR FREE

I acknowledge that using regular expressions to parse HTML is generally not advisable, but due to the simplicity of the implementation here, it works just fine. The search for expected text uses regular expression matching because it was quick and simple. Been running it for years now and it's worked perfectly, giving me the simple monitoring that I needed. I figured I'd create my own basic monitor and just run it as a scheduled task on my Windows desktop at home. Searching the Internet yielded a lot of nice pay options and some limited functionality free options. I wanted to monitor the availability of various websites that I develop and/or host. Run on a schedule (e.g., Windows scheduled task) for a simple website monitoring solution. Simple console application that makes web requests to the configured URLs, validating that they work correctly.
