UptimePad
UptimePad is hosted website and server monitoring for sysadmins and developers.
What UptimePad is
UptimePad is hosted website and server monitoring for sysadmins and developers. It covers HTTP uptime, SSL renewal, DNS drift, and public status pages. HTTP monitors use a URL, expected status code, and alert threshold; free checks run every five minutes. SSL monitoring includes certificate-expiry alerts, mixed-content checks, and chain validation. DNS drift monitoring baselines A, AAAA, MX, NS, CNAME, and TXT records and alerts when records change. The Free plan includes one hosted public status page, while Starter lists a custom-domain page. Notification channels vary by plan and include email, Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, webhooks, Prometheus, and Web Push. Free API access is read-only; Starter adds writing, and Pro and Scale include response assertions. Pro includes 15 server monitors and Scale includes 50. Free allows commercial use. UptimePad is hosted monitoring and does not offer self-hosting.
