mySites.guru No Longer Provides UptimeRobot Status Pages

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. For a complete look at monitoring strategy for agencies, see the site monitoring and alerting guide.

I manage 80+ websites for my clients. It's such a relief to manage all services from one platform. Wish I had discovered this a long time ago :) Great services, unmissable if you manage more websites, it is saving me so much time and gives much more secure feeling. Thanks Phil!

I've been managing multiple Joomla! websites for years, and I honestly can't believe I wasn't using mySites.guru sooner. It has completely changed the way I maintain and monitor my sites. The service is incredibly useful, making it easy to keep track of updates, security, backups, and the overall health of all my Joomla! installations from one place. It's a huge time-saver and makes managing multiple websites so much more convenient. On top of that, the pricing is extremely attractive for everything you get. The value is outstanding, especially if you manage more than one Joomla! website. I highly recommend mySites.guru to anyone working with Joomla!. It's one of those tools that, once you start using it, you wonder how you ever managed without it.
