9. Frequently Asked Questions
How does UptimePlus monitor my services?
UptimePlus sends HTTP/HTTPS requests to your specified URLs at your chosen interval. It records the response time, status code, and determines if the service is up based on receiving a successful status code (2xx or 3xx).
Can I monitor services that aren't websites?
Yes, you can monitor any service that responds to HTTP/HTTPS requests, including APIs, web applications, and more.
What happens if my service goes down?
When a service is detected as down, UptimePlus will:
1. Send you an immediate notification
2. Update your status pages automatically
3. Continue monitoring to detect when the service comes back online
4. Send a recovery notification when the service is available again
How accurate is the uptime calculation?
UptimePlus calculates uptime based on the results of all checks performed during the period. For example, if we check your service every 5 minutes and it was down for 15 minutes (3 checks), and up for the remaining 1,425 minutes of the day (285 checks), your daily uptime would be 98.96%.
