Server Monitoring With Ping and Port Checks From Multiple Regions
A server that stops answering costs you the moment it happens, not the next business day. Uptimehub pings your hosts and knocks on your ports from several regions and pages you the second one goes dark.
Checked from regions with auto-retry. No single-location false alarms.
All systems operational. Steady pulse across every region.
api.example.com returned no response from all 6 regions. Auto-retry confirmed the outage, then we alerted your team.
api.example.com is back up. The incident is logged to your status page history automatically.

In short
Server monitoring checks that a server and its services are up and reachable by pinging the host and testing that the right ports respond. Uptimehub runs ICMP ping and TCP port checks from multiple global regions, so you can watch web servers, databases, SSH, mail servers, and game servers without installing any agent on the box. It auto-retries from a second region before alerting to rule out a network hiccup, then reaches you in seconds over Slack, email, SMS, or webhook. SSL certificate expiry is monitored in the same plan, so a lapsed cert never takes a service offline by surprise.
Why teams pick us
Uptime monitoring built for how you actually work
Teams and admins running servers, databases, or game servers who need external ping and port checks.
Ping and TCP port checks
Watch a host with ICMP ping and confirm the exact port is answering, whether that is 22 for SSH, 3306 for a database, 25 for mail, or a game server port.
From multiple regions, no agent
Checks come from several regions with auto-retry, all external and read-only, so there is nothing to install on the server itself.
SSL expiry in the same plan
Certificate expiry warnings ride alongside your port checks, so a service never drops offline because a cert quietly lapsed.

Questions teams ask about Servers
You watch it from the outside. Uptimehub runs ICMP ping and TCP port checks from multiple regions against your host, so it confirms the server answers and the right ports respond without any software installed on the box. There is nothing to patch, update, or keep alive on the server itself.
Monitor the ports for services users depend on: 443 and 80 for web, 22 for SSH, 3306 for MySQL, 5432 for Postgres, 25 or 587 for mail, and any custom application or game server port. Uptimehub tests the exact port and tells you the moment it stops accepting connections.
Yes. A TCP port check on the database port, for example 3306 or 5432, confirms the database is accepting connections from outside, without needing credentials or an agent. Pair it with a ping check on the host and SSL monitoring on any encrypted endpoint to cover the server fully.
Point a TCP port check at the game server's port from several regions so you know if players in one location cannot connect. Uptimehub auto-retries before alerting, so a brief network hiccup does not trigger a false alarm, and it pages you over Slack, email, SMS, or webhook when the port genuinely goes dark.
