What HostTracker is

HostTracker monitors websites, servers, and APIs from outside a customer’s network. It offers 14 monitor types, including HTTPS uptime, ping, TCP ports, API checks, browser transactions, page speed, database queries, SNMP, domain and SSL expiry, and Google Web Risk. HostTracker says its checks use more than 300 worldwide checkpoints across around 460 distributed agent machines. Failed checks are rechecked from other locations before alerts, and users can choose how many confirmations are needed before declaring a monitor down. Alert channels include email, SMS, voice calls, webhooks, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Telegram, Discord, and web push. Every plan includes public status pages with incidents, maintenance windows, email subscribers, and an embeddable uptime badge. Developer tools include a REST API, SDKs for JavaScript, Python, .NET, and Go, a command-line tool, a Terraform provider, and an MCP server. The free plan covers two monitors with checks every 30 minutes. A 30-day trial includes up to 100 monitors and fair-use limits for SMS and API access. Paid plans start at $5/month.

HostTracker says it is built for web agencies, hosting resellers, and webmasters responsible for multiple domains. It may also suit teams that need external checks and public status pages.
