Feedback and thoughts on service (alien.top)

For any of you entrepreneurs that have an online website presence or even if your site is your main source of income - have you ever considered a website monitor service? I recently launched a mvp of my software that monitors websites to ensure they are up and running and alerts you if an issue is detected. Also every hour it does a visual inspection of the page to see if more than 50% of content was changed and alerts you (in case it’s hacked)

I’m just looking to see if such service would be something of interest and if so what features would you want to see.

My idea of the tool is something that you set and forget. I don’t want it to be another tool that you have to always log into and track etc etc.

I’m really trying to learn the must have and even the nice to have features to grow this product.

Appreciate the response. Yes many options exist and all pretty much due similar thing. As far as integration - there is no integration needed. Nothing is being installed. You just enter the website address and it starts monitoring it.

So it works like this : every 15 minutes (default but can be set to as low as 10 seconds by the user) it goes and checks the status of the site to ensure it is up and running. Every hour it does a visual inspection of the site and if it detects 50% or greater change visually from before it will alert the user.

The alert method is email and SMS is being added. Hope that clarifies some things
