Monitoring Uptime with Uptime Robot for Free – Typist Tech

What is worst than having downtime? Answer: Having downtime without noticing it. Here come Uptime Robot, a free service let you create 50 monitors that checks every 5 minutes, not to mention email alert, mobile apps, API support and public status pages. Uptime Robot homepage
Head to Uptime Robot’s website and create an account. You have to verify your email address before continue. This is probably the hardest part in this tutorial.
Upon logging into the dashboard, add a new HTTP monitor using the button on the top left corner. Enter a human-readable name and the URL you want to monitor. I use Typist Tech’s homepage as an example. Make sure you also selected “Alert Contacts To Notify”.
Uptime Robot will check this URL every 5 minutes, if 4xx or 5xx response is returned, it makes several more checks from other locations in the next 30 seconds. If the URL is still down, it sends an alert.
