Monitor Your Website Uptime for Free — Know the Moment It Goes Down, Before Your Users Do

Paid monitoring services like UptimeRobot charge $7–20 per month for basic features. Pingdom costs even more. Uptime Kuma gives you the same functionality for free, running on your own server or a cheap VPS — no monthly fees, no limits on monitors, no data sent to third-party services.

The moment your website, API, or server goes down, Uptime Kuma fires an alert via Telegram, Slack, Discord, email, or any of 90+ notification channels. No more finding out from a user complaint 2 hours later.

A beautiful dashboard shows real-time status, response time graphs, and uptime history for all your services. Monitor HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, DNS records, Docker containers, and more — all from one place.

Set it up once on any server and forget it. Open source, actively maintained, and trusted by thousands of developers and teams worldwide.
