Everything Instatus does — plus the 1-second moat.
Monitoring, status pages, and incident management in one platform, built on a true second-by-second engine.
Uptime monitoring
PingInsight polls your endpoints as often as every second and records outages to the exact second. Where Instatus floors at 30 seconds, our 1-second engine catches incidents an order of magnitude sooner — and confirms them with multi-location quorum so you only get paged on real outages.
Learn more →Status pages
Broadcast status to the world on fast, SEO-ready pages built on Next.js SSR/ISR. Bring your own domain with automated TLS, white-label the design, translate it, and let customers subscribe by email or RSS — all backed by uptime history from our second-by-second engine.
Learn more →Incident management
When an outage is confirmed, PingInsight can open an incident automatically, post timeline updates through Investigating, Identified, Monitoring, and Resolved, and auto-resolve with the exact downtime duration the moment service recovers — so your team and your customers stay in sync the whole way through.

All check types are available on every plan, including the free tier — plans differ on interval and limits, not coverage.
- HTTP(S) with assertionsValidate status code, body text, JSON fields, headers, and a latency ceiling — not just that it returned 200.
- API / JSON checksAssert on specific JSON fields so a degraded-but-up endpoint still trips the alert.
- Ping / ICMPConfirm a host is reachable at the network layer and measure round-trip latency.
- TCP portOpen a connection to a port to prove a service like a database or broker is accepting connections.
- UDP portProbe connectionless services such as game servers, VPN endpoints, or syslog.
- DNS recordsResolve records and verify the answer matches what you expect, catching misconfiguration or hijacks.
- SSL certificate expiryWatch the served certificate and warn you well before it expires.
- Domain / WHOIS expiryTrack domain registration expiry so a lapsed renewal never takes you offline.
- SMTP / IMAP / POP3 mailMonitor outbound send, mailbox sync, and legacy retrieval across all three mail protocols.
- SSHVerify servers and bastions are accepting secure shell connections.
- NTP (time / clock offset)Measure clock drift so time skew never silently breaks auth, certificates, or scheduled jobs.
- Heartbeat / cronYour job pings us on a schedule; a missed ping alerts you — ideal for backups and ETL.
- Group / aggregate checksRoll several monitors into one health signal for a multi-part service or status-page component.

Compare plans & pricingFrequently asked questions
- What can PingInsight monitor?
- Fourteen check types: HTTP/API with assertions, ping/ICMP, TCP, UDP, DNS, SSL certificate expiry, domain/WHOIS expiry, SMTP, IMAP and POP3 mail, SSH, NTP clock offset, heartbeat/cron, and group/aggregate checks.
- What's the fastest check interval?
- One second. Intervals are set per monitor and scale with your plan: Free every 60 seconds, Pro every 30 seconds, Business every 5 seconds, and Enterprise every 1 second.
- Do you check from multiple regions?
- Yes. Checks run from three live regions — us-east-2 (Ohio), us-west-2 (Oregon), and eu-west-1 (Ireland) — and an outage is confirmed by multi-location quorum plus a consecutive-failure threshold to avoid false alarms.
- Which checks are on the free plan?
- All check types are available on every plan, including Free. Plans differ on check interval, monitor count, and advanced features — see pricing for the full tier matrix.
