What it is
ServiceUptime remotely monitors website availability and performance, then alerts users when it detects problems. Checks cover web pages, PING, HTTP/HTTPS, links, mail servers, download servers, DNS, MySQL, and custom servers or ports. Monitoring intervals range from 1 to 60 minutes, depending on the selected option and plan. The free account includes one service checked every 30 or 60 minutes. Paid plans list Start at $5.95 a month for three monitors with five-minute checks, Standard at $9.95 a month for six monitors, Advanced at $29.95 a month for three monitors with one-minute checks, and Professional at $89.95 a month for ten monitors with two-minute checks. Alerts can use email, SMS, or webhooks, with an API for custom applications. Detected outages are checked from multiple monitoring locations before alerts are sent. Reports include uptime, performance, lifetime statistics, and public statistics for websites. ServiceUptime was established in 2005. A 14-day trial is listed.
