FAQ

Freelancer uptime monitoring questions, answered

What is uptime monitoring for freelancers?

Uptime monitoring continuously checks that the sites you build and maintain are reachable, and alerts you the instant one goes down. For a freelancer it means you find out about an outage before your client does, so you can fix it quietly instead of getting an angry message.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Sentinel has a free plan you can start on at no cost, which is ideal when you're monitoring a handful of client sites. Paid plans add more monitors and faster checks, and include a 14-day free trial. You can cancel anytime.

Do I need a team or any technical setup?

No. Sentinel is built to work for a single person. There's nothing to install; you add a monitor by entering a URL, choosing a check interval, and picking where alerts go. It takes about a minute per site.

How will I know when a site goes down?

You can be alerted by email, SMS, Slack and Discord. Checks run from four global regions and an outage is confirmed by consensus before you're notified, so you get real alerts without constant false alarms.

Can I give clients a status page?

Yes. You can publish a status page so clients can check their site's uptime themselves, which makes a solo freelancer look polished and cuts down on "is my site down?" messages.

What can Sentinel monitor besides uptime?

Beyond uptime it checks SSL certificate expiry, domain expiration, DNS changes, page keywords and API responses, exactly the things that are easy to forget across a roster of client sites.

Never get the “my site is down” message again

Add your client sites in a couple of minutes and let Sentinel keep watch. Free to start, no commitment.
