Might be even better, because they have HTTP(S), DNS, UDP Port, TCP Port, TCPS Port (don’t even know what that is) and Ping checks…
Though I never heard of Zilore, but if the product works, who cares…
Thanks!
It works, I have several websites monitored with Zilore.
The ONLY issue I ever had was early on and was solved ASAP.
But Appolo app has some neat stuff, like the pushover notifications… (neat but not needed I know) and status pages… among other stuff.
But Zilore has ev erything that is NEDEED and works pretty well.
I also like Freshping (50 free sites).

Seems it’s gone anyways … I’m quite happy with HetrixTools, though. Any particular benefits of Zilore, Apollo etc? 
Oh, my search sent me to Dealify .tech or something … 
Still, main benefits of Apollo vs. Hetrix?
Incidents notes/updates on status page, maybe?
($49 would cover ten years of the lowest paid “don’t expire even if I don’t login” option at Hetrix)

Yeah Hetrix is great and I don’t think Dealify is up to par yet. For example, I dont’ think you add server agents. (judging from their roadmap).
The question is…
LTDs are always a bet, and never a safe thing.
Where is that?
BTW , no way in hell I’m suggesting anyone to switch from Hetrix Tools to Appolo. NO WAY!

I see it from the HetrixTools dashboard where it says last login/activity required:
Our free packages are FREE for life with just one condition: you have to maintain your HetrixTools account active by logging into your dashboard at least once every 30 days.
In our constant effort to provide quality services, we’ve decided that it’s rather pointless in keeping monitors active for inactive users, taking up resources and queue space from the active and paid users that need them the most.
You can remove this requirement for the price of just 2 cups of coffee :
Order the Basic package - $4.95/yrThe Basic package will remove the ‘Activity Required’ clause from your free account for a nominal fee. This symbolic payment will let us know that even though you’re not logging in every month, you have not abandoned your account, so we’ll keep your monitors active.
Please note that the Basic package does not modify in any other way the features/limits of your Free Blacklist and Uptime Monitoring packages.

Just renewed my owned (one-time) Pinegrow license for another year of updates. My last update had been in 2017 and while it still was working perfectly I’ve seen some new features in the new versions that I’m really looking forward to such as Stock photo integrations and Bootstrap 4.
All Pinegrow licenses are currently 50% off. It is one of the best owned Software purchases I have ever done, so if you only remotely consider it give it a spin in the trial and get the Deal Pinegrow Web Editor | Website Builder for Professionals
Pinegrow Pro one-time owned (1 year of Updates) is currently priced at only 46€.
Some of my favourite features and important things to know:
Pinegrow is HTML, CSS and JS (front end oriented)
Pinegrow still requires you to know and understand coding. It offers drag and drop but on a more advanced level.
It has frequent and useful feature updates: Pinegrow Web Editor | Website Builder for Professionals
Open any local website project (such as any HTML/CSS Templates, Bootstrap templates…) and directly edit it in Pinegrow.
Open/import any HTML/CSS basdd website frontend via URL. Choose a website you like and learn how it is set up. I had a look at Vultrs website for example. Of course you can view the code in chrome dev tools or copy it into any code editor. The thing that makes Pinegrow so great (especially for ppl learning to code but also pros alike) is that it directly shows the connection between a certain website element or area to the code. Click anywhere and the relevant part of the code will be highlighted and relevant modification Parameter/settings will also be shown. Play around, have fun.
Use Atom to code and see your code edits directly applied and synced with Pinegrow.
Pinegrow does not modifiy Bootstrap code or otherwhise “poison” It like other tools do. It is said to produce some of the cleanest code.
The learning curve is steep and although I love it I don’t use it frequently enough (mainly because 80% websites I deal with are WP based and I use Divi for that) to consider myself a Pinegrow expert. But when I work with it, I get into it. And every time I do that. I love it.
Oh, and you can also get the WordPress extension to quite easily create WordPress templates, define editable areas etc
You own the software. It is yours to keep. I can’t stress this enough but since Pinegrow doesn’t rely on Pinegrow infrastructure or an online infrastructure like many other tools, if the company was to shut down one day the software would keep working for you forever
Anyway, this was just my way of saying I’d love to see more appreciation of a software I love but barely use. Have a nice day

Maybe a stupid question. Can this be used to build a new site from scratch? Thnx
Yes, it can be used. Note though, that you should already understand HTML/CSS and if you build from scratch also code some yourself.
Affinity stuff is on 90 day trial and 50% off right now

I also bought Designer and Photo a while ago. Both have a clean interface, however I always end up quickly doing my design in https://glorifyapp.com
You will notice by feeling bloated and ripped off at the same time.
Pretty cool feature from Pinegrow 
Love it:
