So I have this Pingdom free user plan and today I got an email from them that they will be discontinuing the fre plan service and instead they are offering me their PRO plan for free till the 6th of February and and a Voucher of 50%to upgrade.
In case you don’t have a free plan with them and you are interested… you can use the voucher UPGRADENOW.
To be honest I’m not interested, the only reason I have that free plan is because I like to see new stuff, so I was monitoring one site there just to see how the service is.
I switched to UptimeRobot a while back. They only check every 5 minutes instead of every minute, but you get 50 monitors for free, and can create a public status page (eg. mine is https://uptime.dan.cx/)
HetrixTools is in my list of stuff to evaluate, I just haven’t had a chance to do it yet. I’m already using their blacklist monitoring which works quite well.
Looks like they only support 10 monitors on the free version, whereas I’ve got more than that. I guess I could use HetrixTools for my most important monitors and keep using UptimeRobot for the others.
