Description

Upcheck is website monitoring for teams. It watches every website you own four ways and alerts your team by email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or webhook before a small problem becomes an outage.

What it checks:
- Uptime: HTTPS probes every 5 minutes, with a second failed probe required before anyone is paged, so you don't get woken up by a blip.
- SSL certificates: validity, chain, hostname coverage, and expiry, re-checked twice a day.
- DNS: resolution every 6 hours, plus alerts when A, AAAA, NS, or MX records change unexpectedly.
- Domain registration: expiry and registry holds tracked daily over RDAP, so a forgotten renewal never takes the site down.

Pricing is one plan: $10/month plus $1 per website. Every alert channel is included and there are no seat fees, so the whole team can be on the alerts.

Upcheck also ships 20+ free tools with no signup, including "Is my website down?", SSL certificate checker, DNS lookup, DNS propagation checker, SPF and DMARC checkers, redirect checker, HTTP headers checker, and WHOIS lookup.
