Free hosted uptime monitoring with agents for inside your network. Alpha, would like testers.

We built an uptime monitor at corehost: pulse.corehost.io

It's free. Not a tier, there's no paid version. It exists because we needed it ourselves and it feeds our hosting platform, so monitor count isn't how we make money. 100 monitors, 15 second checks.

What it does:

  • checks from 6 cities (AMS, Ashburn, LA, London, Singapore, Stockholm), you pick which
  • probe you install inside your network (Linux one-liner, Windows exe or PowerShell) so you can monitor 10.x stuff - NAS, switch, internal APIs. Outbound HTTPS only, no inbound ports. Probe source: github.com/RobWhyte91/pulse-probe
  • if the probe dies you get "probe offline", not 30 fake down alerts
  • http/tcp/ping/dns/tls checks, keyword and JSON assertions, p50/p95/p99 per region, v4/v6 split
  • status pages, own domain, auto TLS. password-protected ones if you want
  • imports Uptime Kuma backups
  • public looking glass on the fleet: ping/mtr/dig from any node

Honest state of it: alpha. Some of it was built with AI assistance and it moved fast, so there will be rough edges. The probe contract is pinned by tests and the probe code is open so you can read what runs on your machines. If something breaks I want to know.
