Your business can't afford to experience outages

Monitor your services through our geo-located servers and automatically failover your DNS

System Monitoring & DNS Failover

Get notified when your service is offline and automatically initiate a backup plan


Multiple monitoring protocols - Our System Monitoring & Failover service provides a simple interface for you to configure and check if your service is running through various sensors including but not limited to ICMP Ping, TCP port, DNS, SSL, HTTP codes or match strings.

24x7 monitoring with geo-located servers - Our monitoring servers check every few minutes based on your monitoring criteria to ensure that you service is running. If your services fail to respond from two or more different geographic monitoring locations, you will get notified.

Flexible notifications - You can set up different notification contacts through email or SMS. As soon as your service is detected down, all the contacts in your notification contact list will get notified. You can also specify the maximum number of alerts that can be sent out to avoid unnecessary alerts.

Multiple backup DNS options - While most service providers only allow you to switch to a failover IP address, our failover service allows you to add/remove A, AAAA, MX and web redirect records. You can also set up offline settings to redirect users to an alternative URL or show an offline message.

Automatically failback - Our system will check your backup DNS options to ensure it is running before activating the failover. Once the failover is complete, your primary settings are still being monitored. You can choose to automatically switch back once the primary settings are back online.



Monitor your service from multiple locations around the world!


Your service is checked simultaneously from multiple geographic locations. If it fails to respond from two or more locations at the same time, you get notified instantly — eliminating false alarms from single-point network issues.

Track your uptime history with detailed reports!


Every monitor comes with a full history of outages, errors, and response times. Keep reports private or share them publicly with clients and colleagues. Your uptime data is retained indefinitely — no history limits, no surprises.

Receive instant alerts via email, SMS, Slack, Teams and more!


Receive instant notifications through your preferred channels the moment an outage is detected. Set up repeated alerts to keep being notified until the issue is resolved, and cap the alert count to avoid unnecessary noise.

Monitor your services via HTTP, DNS, SSL, TCP, Ping and more!


Choose from a wide range of monitoring protocols including HTTP/HTTPS with keyword matching, TCP port checks, ICMP Ping, DNS (TCP and UDP), SSL validity, and SMTP. Whatever your infrastructure, there is a monitoring type to fit.

Choose Your Monitoring Package

Whether you're a large organization, a growing business or you just want to check up on your personal website, we've got the right package for you!




Renew your SSL certificate before it expires!


We automatically track the expiration dates of your SSL certificates and alert you in advance so you can renew before it causes any issues. We also verify that each certificate is valid, authentic, and correctly matched to your hostname.

Activate your backup plan automatically when you go offline!


When your primary service goes down, failover kicks in automatically — no manual action needed. Add or remove A, AAAA, and MX records, redirect users to a backup URL, or display a custom offline message. Once your primary service recovers, the system switches back automatically.

Detect outages faster with zero false positives!


Unlike services that check from a single location, we check your service from all monitoring locations simultaneously every minute. Outages are confirmed from multiple independent vantage points at once — giving you the fastest detection time and the highest accuracy possible.

Share your service status with a live public page!


Give your users full transparency with a public status page showing real-time availability, historical incidents, and response times. Share it via a direct link — no login required for your clients to stay informed.

How Does DNS Failover Work?

QUESTIONS?



Do you offer a free trial?

Yes. We offer a 14-day free trial with 3 monitors. You do not need to provide any personal information or credit card number to start the trial. At the end of the 14 days, you can switch to a paid service.

How much does the service cost?

The cost of System Monitoring & Failover service is based on the number of monitors that you set up. To start with, 5 monitors costs $9.99/year. You may check the pricing here.

What services do you monitor?

Services are monitored on a given host or IP address. Services monitored include HTTP: Web server - including keyword, HTTPS: Secure web server - including keyword, SSL: Validity and expiration, TCP: Port check, e.g. SMTP, SFTP, PING: ICMP echo, DNS: Both TCP and UDP

How many actions can I take with 1 monitor?

You can take as many actions as you want with 1 monitor. You can choose to notify as many contacts as you want, add/remove any numbers of DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, web redirect). You can also activate offline options. Refer to this tutorial for setup instructions.

Do I need to host my DNS with you?

If you use failover options which require changing the DNS records for your domain name, you will need to manage your DNS with us. If you simply want to monitor your service and get notified about any downtime, you do not have to host your DNS with us.

What TTL should I use?

Due to DNS caching, using a TTL between 60 to 600 seconds for your DNS records is suggested to reduce downtime to a minimum. TTL is a value that tells a network router whether or not the packet in the network should be discarded.
