Today I will be showing you how to create an awesome real-time status page for your hosting service and all for free! At the end of this post, you will have your own awesome status pages like Emulasite Server Status for free with SSL support. Uptime Robot is a free online service that monitors your website every five minutes and notifies if your site(s) is down, via e-mail, SMS, Twitter, push, Slack, HipChat, web-hooks. It asks for websites headers and gets status codes like “200-ok”, “404-not found” etc., every 5 minutes. If the status code doesn’t indicate any problem, then your site is up and running. If the status code is 400+ or 500+, then your website is down. UptimeRobot will keep doing several checks for next 30 seconds to make sure your website is really down. Uptime Robot is entirely free to use, and of course, there is a premium plan that has additional features which are not available in the free plan. Check this link to know the comparison of pro and free plans. Why do you need a status page? Downtime happens! And being a hosting service provider you should be notified about them. It helps you: Keep your clients up-to-date Show your uptime performance to others, and especially for the promotional purposes Monitor your server health to see where you perform well Some Examples 000webhost Emulasite LampStack So, let's get started: Step 1 Visit https://uptimerobot.com/ Step 2 Sign up for a free account Step 3 Once the account created, login to your dashboard.

Click Add New Monitor on the top left corner. Enter all necessary details, such as Monitor types, Name, website URL, Monitoring Interval, and also select the alert contacts to notify the website’s status. By default, the alerts will be sent to the mail id that you have used while creating the new account. You can add additional contacts in the My Settings page. You can, of course, change the monitoring interval by adjusting the Monitoring Interval option. Step 5 That’s it. Now, your websites will be monitored every 5 minutes.
