Uptime Monitor started as a way to be the first to know when your site goes down. The more I talk to small businesses, the clearer it gets that knowing is half the job. The other half is telling your customers. So status pages are a big part of where Uptime Monitor is going.
Why status pages matter
When a webshop goes down, the owner is busy fixing it. Meanwhile customers write, call and post, and each of them gets a slightly different answer, if they get one at all.
A status page gives everyone the same answer in one place. The customer sees that you know, which part is affected and when it's back. You get to fix the problem in peace, and you come across as the business that had the answer ready.
That calm, clear moment is what I want Uptime Monitor to give you. Monitoring tells you. The status page lets you tell everyone else.
For MSPs and web agencies
If you look after sites for clients, you're the one they call. A status page per client lets you send one link, and lets the client pass it on to their own customers. Uptime Business has 10 status pages and 250 monitors for €39 a month. MonitorBase for partners has the rest of the MSP features.
What they do today
- A page at
monitorstatus.eu/<your-name>, hosted separately from your site, so it stays up when your site is down. - Outages are detected from your monitors and confirmed from Amsterdam before we alert you.
- Incidents show on the page with when they were detected and resolved, and they resolve automatically when the site answers again.
- Each service shows its uptime history.
- Uptime Pro, €12: 3 status pages. Uptime Business, €39: 10. Both without the MonitorBase link. The free plan for personal and hobby sites has 1, with the link.
- On Uptime Business, a page can also show components of your own, updated by hand or through the status-page API, with your logo and colour, at your own address such as
status.yourcompany.com. We set the address up for you.
