There are other computing challenges that will also require to leave your pc running overnight so I do not think that there is a way to overcome this.
Thank you for your reply.
Even thought I cannot imagine such a real world scenario where I should ping a website for 12+ hours, I trust you in the fact this time =P
I'll probably use my laptop then... Think it will have enough processing speed?
Also, as I still have no idea how to code a Python program to help me with this, any example codes with the useful commands would be much appreciated. I'd just need to see the basic structure and the commands themselves.
Thank you for your time =)

, so processing power should not be the issue. CodeX provided all you need (ironically true
