Server Status Checker

About This Tool

So, you’ve got a server running—maybe it’s your personal project, a client’s site, or that side hustle you’re trying to keep alive. Thing is, you can’t babysit it 24/7. That’s where a server status checker comes in. It’s not flashy. It’s not trying to impress anyone. It just does one job: tells you if your server’s up or down. Simple, right?

I built this because I got tired of getting Slack pings at 2 a.m. saying, “Hey, the site’s broken.” Turns out, the server had been down for six hours. No one noticed. That’s the kind of thing that makes you rethink your life choices. Now, this tool pings my server every few minutes and shoots me an email or text if something’s off. Peace of mind? Yeah, that’s the real feature.

Key Features

• Checks your server every 1 to 10 minutes—your call.
• Sends alerts via email, SMS, or webhook when the server goes down.
• Tracks uptime percentage over time, so you can see if things are getting worse.
• Works with HTTP, HTTPS, and even basic TCP ports—no fancy setup needed.
• Free tier available. No credit card. No spam. Just sign up and go.
• Dashboard shows recent checks, response times, and downtime history.
• You can silence alerts during maintenance windows. Because sometimes you want it to be down.

FAQ

Will this slow down my server?
Nope. The checks are lightweight—just a simple request. We’re not running benchmarks or scanning ports. It’s like a quick “hello” every few minutes. Your server won’t even notice.

What if I have multiple servers?
Add as many as you want. Each one gets its own status page and alert settings. You can group them by project or environment (like staging vs. production). It’s not rocket science—just organized.
