How to evaluate a monitoring service.
Features lists look alike. These are the questions that separate services in practice. Check each one against your own websites before you compare prices.
- Monitoring coverage
- What does one monitor actually check: availability only, or also certificates, domains, and DNS?
- Monitoring frequency
- How often a check runs on your plan. A shorter interval finds a problem sooner, but it does not promise an alert within that time.
- Incident confirmation
- Whether a failure is checked again before anyone is alerted. This trades a little speed for fewer false alarms.
- Notification channels
- Which channels exist, and which events each one carries. A channel that only reports outages is not a certificate warning.
- SSL and domain expiration
- Whether expiry is watched, how early you are warned, and on which plans.
- DNS monitoring
- Whether it checks that a name resolves, or also watches records for changes.
- Status pages
- How many you get, whether they use your domain, and whether visitors can subscribe.
- History and reporting
- How long results are kept, and what reports you can export or share.
- Pricing and plan limits
- What a monitor is, how many you get, and whether a price is monthly or billed yearly.
- Ease of setup
- How many steps it takes from an address to a working alert.
- Operational limits
- What the service does not do, such as browser-based checks or finding the cause of a failure.
Where UptimeWire fits.
UptimeWire is built around one idea: one website, four checks, a clearer picture.
- Every website you add gets an uptime check, an SSL certificate check, a domain expiration check, and a DNS resolution check. This includes the Free plan.
- A website is one exact address. A different subdomain or path counts as another website.
- The warning period for a certificate is set per website, from one to sixty days.
- It is a website monitoring service. It does not run browser journeys, collect server metrics, or find the cause of a failure.
