Show HN: websites and hosts monitoring service

Hi lads,

We have created uptime monitoring service - up-time.io.

Our main design principle was to ask users for as little as possible (page URL) and then build a service which based on user input (page URL) returns as much as possible.

At the moment when URL is provided we do DNS resolve and add all found hosts to the monitoring group with 80/tcp and 443/tcp rules. After that URL is being scanned every minute and each host every five minutes. When website (URL) is down for 5 minutes service sends notification.

We monitor from Amsterdam but tomorrow (we move really fast) we shall have a bit more complex solution and will add monitoring from Germany and New York.

We were wondering what path shall we go and what should we add as a next feature?

On our list:

- Twilio integration

- PhantomJS/YSlow HAR archives with alerts when sth is not going well

- PhantomJS - screen grabbing (inspired a bit by post I found on HN about pagesnap.io)

- More complex monitors, for instance HTTP content check, ICMP/ping, certificate verification, etc..

- Improve UI - add help, tutorial, introduction, so that my Mom can use it.

Any feedback would be great.

Thanks guys,
