Are My Sites Up monitors websites for uptime, downtime and status, then notifies customers when a site goes down or returns. It loads each monitored site and treats HTTP responses in the 200s or 300s as up; other responses trigger down-site handling. Depending on the plan, checks run from once per minute to once every 15 minutes. Keyword checks watch pages for selected words and can provide returned error codes when possible. Alerts include unlimited email, US SMS and voice calls priced at 2¢ per call. Webhooks send an HTTP POST to an address you choose when a site changes state. RSS feeds show current status and recent outage or recovery summaries. iPhone and Android apps provide push notifications; the iPhone app can view, add, edit and delete sites, while Android can view and add them. Premium Standard costs 35.00 USD per year ($2.92/mo) for 25 sites. Turbo plans start at 8.00 USD per month and include 15-day trials.
