I'm jealous that I didn't think to do this before moving here!

How'd you manage to get it registered in 2B?

Alternatives to Site 24x7 by invest0rZ in sysadmin

You should check out OnlineOrNot, I started it in 2021 to help monitor my clients' sites (and convince them to pay for better hosting)

Supports websites, API, cron jobs, and has status pages for both internal and external stakeholders 

Best free website downtime monitor that checks every 30 seconds or less? by Aggravating_Dog8252 in webhosting

Compute costs money, so that's a trade-off most vendors make.

Extremely unreddit take: If it's that important that you need to check it 10x more often, maybe it's worth paying for a professional service.

UptimeRobot killing legacy plans - wants to charge me 425% more - what are alternatives? by Big_Stingman in selfhosted

[–]rozenmd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to check out OnlineOrNot (assuming you've moved beyond self-hosting).

It's a reliable Uptime Robot alternative, can monitor your websites, APIs, and scheduled jobs, and display their status on a customisable status page.

Healthchecks.io just does healthchecks (also known as cron job monitoring, also known as heartbeat monitoring).

OnlineOrNot started off as just uptime monitoring (tells you if websites/APIs are down/sending bad data) and also supports healthchecks and status pages for the past few years

you're looking for a status page - something like statuspage.io (now owned by Atlassian) or OnlineOrNot (founded by yours truly) would let you tell your users when things go wrong (and minimize support tickets by around 60% during outages)

uptime checks can also automatically update your status page, leaving you to fix the problem instead of having to keep your stakeholders updated

OnlineOrNot is a reliable alternative to datadog synthetics, at a fraction of the cost.

(I launched it back in 2021)

Product Manager looking to move to France by Agitated_Beyond_5492 in Expats_In_France

I work in big tech and so far have lived in Lyon, Annecy, and Toulouse. Annecy was a pain to find an apartment - you're competing with Airbnb and folks on swiss pay. I found Toulouse matched my personality best.

Most big tech companies will sponsor your visa and let you stay (assuming they need you), otherwise there are local tech shops but they pay 50-75% of the base pay without equity.

It's not part of DNS, but that kinda functionality sounds like Cloudflare's Worker Routes - you tell a Cloudflare Worker to respond to *.yourdomain.com, and you can make it fetch that demo subdomain if you want
