I originally built OnlineOrNot (https://onlineornot.com) to have a convenient way to convince my contracting clients that their hosting sucks.

They'd be like "Oh but I pay $5/mo for this wordpress host, it's fine?" and I'd send them a report saying their website was offline for say 10 hours that week, and to calculate how much being offline for 10 hours would cost them.

Eventually a client asked to be setup with their own account, so I took the time to go full-SaaS.



How frequently does it ping the target site?


It can do a check every 30 seconds, but users configure it as needed
