Uptime monitoring + auto-recovery
Built for freelancers managing client sites.
Get notified the moment a client's site goes down — and let PingMonitor automatically restart your VPS when it can. Stop logging into provider panels at 3am.
Everything you actually need.
No enterprise bloat. Designed for the freelancer with 5–50 client sites who wants to look on top of it.
Monitor what matters
HTTP, SSL expiry, JSON keys, response time, content checks. Built for real client sites — not toy examples. Configurable check intervals down to one minute.
Auto-recovery, not just alerts
When your VPS at RackNerd or Hetzner dies, PingMonitor can boot it back up automatically. With sane guardrails: boot only, status-first, cooldown, daily cap. Or just call you. Your choice.
Email and webhook alerts
Email, Slack, Discord, your own webhook. Down alerts the moment a check fails. Recovery alerts when it comes back. Plus optional monthly client reports — branded as you, not us.
Two-factor secure
Your monitors and VPS credentials are protected by 2FA and encrypted at rest. Because boot-the-server access shouldn't be one phishing email away.
Client-ready reports
Monthly uptime reports go straight to your client's inbox, on the date you pick. They see the work; you don't do the work.
Bring your own VPS
Plug in RackNerd or Hetzner credentials once and power your servers from the dashboard. More providers coming — by request.
A 3am scenario, replayed.
Your client's site goes down at 3:14am. Here's what happens.
-
1
A monitor flags down.
PingMonitor checks the site. Once. Twice. Confirmed down — not a flap.
-
2
You get an email.
Subject line says exactly what's wrong. Status code, error, timestamp.
-
3
PingMonitor checks the VPS.
If the VPS is offline (not just the service), and you've enabled auto-recovery, it sends a boot request. The email tells you it tried.
-
4
You wake up to a recovery email.
Site's back up at 3:18am. You didn't move. Your client doesn't know it ever happened.
An honest note
We're not a replacement for being a good sysadmin.
PingMonitor catches problems and can handle the obvious ones for you. But real reliability still comes from understanding your servers, keeping software updated, reading your logs when things get weird, and knowing when to actually look under the hood. We're the safety net. You're still the engineer. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're selling you something.
Simple pricing.
Free for testing. One paid plan when you're ready. No surprises.
