The Website Monitoring Bot is a simple yet powerful tool designed to keep track of the availability of a specified website. It periodically sends requests to the target URL and reacts accordingly by sending colour-coded messages to indicate the status: green for up, orange for potential issues, red for confirmed downtime, and blue for maintenance mode.

• The bot is built with Discord.js v14 using JavaScript
• Uses Axios to ping the site

• Request Monitoring: Regularly checks the specified website's availability.
• Color-Coded Messages: Responds with different color-coded messages based on the website's status.
• Automatic Reaction: Takes action based on the website's status after a series of consecutive requests.
• Maintenance Mode: Allows you to manually set the bot to maintenance mode, temporarily stopping the requests.
• Config file: Easy to edit config file
