Not quite - just thought of what I would actually pay for it. Looked at others and saw most done for you solutions were monthly subscriptions ~$9. Couldn't see myself being excited by that pricing model + another dashboard to manage, so I made it $5 for the year and built the most simple solution that's easy to set up and reliable (while not losing money).

Almost all monitoring services I found target enterprise, and the ones that don't are self-hosted. This solution is for the small teams/indie devs that just need to know when their servers down. Might raise the price though, thinking the low price might work against me for quality perception. What do you think?

    I used a hobby tier service which would send free emails but you would buy credits for SMS. Now I do it myself with simple Cron script

    One thing with the events model is that for some webhosts which do maintenance or small periods of downtime often a user might see many through the year. Or in other words the hobby dev might see them but I imagine a production level small team shouldn't be using those servers anyway
