mySites.guru No Longer Provides UptimeRobot Status Pages

mySites.guru no longer integrates with UptimeRobot.com for uptime monitoring or status pages.

We built our own monitoring engine instead. It’s part of the Ultimate Toolset included with every mySites.guru subscription, no extra cost.

⚠️ Why we stopped using UptimeRobot

mySites.guru used UptimeRobot for uptime monitoring from 2012 until August 2021. After UptimeRobot was acquired by itrinity in 2019, the service suffered repeated outages and our account was terminated without warning on multiple occasions. In July 2021, the new owners tried to raise our annual fee from $6,792 to $22,416 (a 352.4% increase) with 66 days' notice. We declined, and on 12th August 2021 we switched to our own custom-built monitoring engine. It handles all our monitoring at a fraction of the cost, with no third-party dependency.

The engine checks every connected site once per minute and runs three separate checks before firing an alert, so you’re not getting woken up over a false positive.

If you’re wondering why you’re getting downtime alerts, we wrote a separate guide on how the alerts work and what they mean.
