Ask HN: Free Monitoring tools other than Pingdom?
I am looking for a free hosted Web Site monitoring service. I only need to monitor 1 website and I don't need any special features. Is there a service where basic monitoring is free?

- fossb 17y agoIf you want anything more than just monitor if your site is alive, like knowing if it changes (or if your domain , host, whois, etc changes), try: http://sucuri.net/?page=nbi http://sucuri.net/?page=nbi (network-based integrity monitoring)
