Thanks Binny, I’m pretty new to all this (as you can probably tell). On the Asus it must be bound by defaukt as that’s what it does out of the box.

If you are looking for a default shortcut, go for Ctrl+Alt+F1

The monitoring is done by Hyperspin (another company) and my host have an agreement with them and get contact automatically when it breaks.

Luckily it does work for me as I have needed it 3 times this week for some reason which I believe I have now fixed. I just wake up to 4 emails saying “site is down”, “ticket created”, “ticket responded to”, “site is back up” all with in 5 - 10 minutes from start to finish.
