  • Why Is Uptime Robot Free (And Will It Always Stay So)?

    We get many questions regarding "if Uptime Robot will ever become paid or not" and thought it'll be the best to share it in detail. Why Is Uptime Robot Free? We have launched Uptime Robot in January 2010 hoping to offer a non-complicated uptime service (where every website owner actually needs). Also, we had created […]

  • Last 24 Hours Status And Custom Timezones

    Since the launch of Uptime Robot, we’re analyzing the cost of keeping logs in means of performance and size. With lots of tweaks to our engine and code, Uptime Robot now saves every action to present them as reports and charts. The first report activated is the “Last 24 Hours Status” which can be found […]

And, it is fixed now. So, it is possible to monitor a URL like http://ww.mydomain.com/index.php?item=1&price=15. Also, in some cases, multiple notifications were being […]

  • A Summary Of Beginning-To-Now

    This is the first post of the Uptime Robot Blog and hi to everyone :). Since the launch of the project (20 Jan 2010), we worked hard to make the system better and there has been several updates to it: New Features: Keyword checking (ability to check if a keyword exists or not in a […]
