Everything you get with our Uptime Monitoring

24/7 HTTP(S) Monitoring

60-second interval checks from multiple geographic locations with confirmation tests and instant multi-channel alert notifications

Response Protocols

Documented escalation procedures, severity classifications, and response playbooks for every type of downtime event

Monthly Uptime Reports

Detailed availability reports with uptime percentage, outage inventory, mean time to detection/recovery, and root cause documentation

Our Uptime Monitoring Process

1

Monitoring Configuration

We configure HTTP(S) checks from multiple geographic regions, set up TCP port monitoring for critical services, configure SSL certificate expiration alerts, and define escalation protocols for different severity levels.

2

Alert Chain Setup

We define who gets notified, through which channels, at what severity level. Critical outages go to your technical team immediately. Extended outages escalate to management. We configure alert de-duplication to prevent notification fatigue.

3

Response Protocol

When downtime is detected, we follow a documented response protocol: confirm the outage, identify the cause (server, DNS, SSL, hosting, DDoS), begin resolution, communicate status, and restore service. Every minute counts, so the protocol is rehearsed.

4

Post-Incident Review

After every outage, we document the root cause, timeline, impact duration, and corrective actions. We implement preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of recurrence and update response protocols based on lessons learned.

Key Benefits

60-second detection

Your site is checked every 60 seconds from multiple geographic locations. If any check fails, a confirmation test runs immediately. If the confirmation fails, alerts fire within 60 seconds. You know your site is down before the vast majority of your visitors encounter the outage.

Multi-channel instant alerts

Downtime alerts are delivered simultaneously via email, SMS, and dashboard notification. Alerts include the failure type, affected URL, responding status code, and the geographic location that detected the failure so you have context before you even begin investigating.

Historical uptime reporting

You receive monthly uptime reports showing your exact availability percentage, the number and duration of any outages, mean time to detection, mean time to recovery, and root cause analysis for every incident. This data demonstrates the value of monitoring and holds hosting providers accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do you check our website?

We check your website every 60 seconds from multiple geographic locations. If a check fails, a confirmation test runs immediately from a different location to rule out false positives. If the confirmation also fails, alerts fire within 60 seconds of the initial detection.

What types of downtime do you detect?

We detect complete server failures, HTTP error responses (500, 502, 503, 504), DNS resolution failures, SSL certificate expiration, slow response times exceeding your threshold, and specific content check failures (verifying your page actually returns expected content, not an error page with a 200 status code).

What uptime percentage should we expect?

Most quality hosting providers deliver 99.9% uptime, which still allows for 8.7 hours of downtime per year. Our monitoring ensures you know about every minute of that downtime and can hold your hosting provider to their SLA. We help you maximize uptime by addressing recurring issues that cause outages.

Can you fix downtime issues or just detect them?

Both. Our monitoring detects the issue, and our response team begins resolution immediately. For hosting-level issues, we coordinate with your hosting provider. For application-level issues (crashed processes, database failures, SSL expiration), we resolve them directly. Every incident gets a post-mortem with preventive actions.
