We’ve just enabled a new feature for all VaultPress customers that will now automatically notify you via email when we detect a connection error between VaultPress and your site.

We’ve identified a number of common issues that can cause a connection problem. The current issues that will trigger an automated email notification are:

• 301/302 redirect
• 500 Internal Server Error
• Database Connection Error
• 401 Unauthorized
• Invalid api signature
• Connection timeout
• Hostname does not resolve
• Plugin disabled

If VaultPress is unable to contact your site for five consecutive hours, we’ll send an initial alert email to you. We’ll send additional follow-up alerts to you and then to our concierge support team so we can work with you to make sure your site is protected.
