How HostGuard keeps an eye on your site

HTTP / HTTPS monitoring

We check your site regularly and watch its response status code. If the site is unreachable or returns an error code, we alert you right away.

Response time and trends

We measure response time on every check, and you can track how it changes on a chart.

• Response-time trends broken down by day and week
• Spot slowdowns before a full outage hits

SSL expiry monitoring

We keep track of your certificate's validity so an expired cert never catches you off guard.

• Alerts 30, 14 and 7 days before expiry
• Warnings for invalid or broken certificate chains

Keyword monitoring

You can specify text that must appear on your page. If it disappears, we alert you. That way we catch silent failures too, when the page responds but serves the wrong content.

Flap protection (2-check)

Before alerting, we run a second check, so transient one-off glitches don't trigger needless notifications. We only tell you about real problems.

Email and SMS notifications

Choose how your team gets notified about outages.

• Email notifications for every event
• SMS for critical outages (simplesms.hu)
• We signal recovery too, not just the failure

PHP health agent

An optional, lightweight PHP agent you install on your server to see its internal state as well.

• Disk usage monitoring
• Memory load
• CPU load

Cron / heartbeat monitor

Ensures your scheduled jobs run on time. Get instant alerts if a task is missed.

Website health monitoring

Regularly checks your site's speed, SEO, and HTML quality. Helps identify factors slowing you down.

Multi-protocol monitoring

We monitor not just HTTP(S), but also TCP, ping, DNS, SMTP, and IMAP servers. Keep your systems secure on all levels.

Maintenance window

Set planned maintenance periods to avoid false alerts and keep uptime statistics accurate.

Integrations

Send alerts where your team works: webhook, Slack, Telegram, or Discord. Never miss a beat.

Domain expiry monitoring

Keep track of your domain's expiry date and receive timely warnings for renewal. Never let your domain lapse.

Monthly uptime PDF report

Receive a monthly, automatic PDF report on uptime and incidents. Easily shareable with clients or managers.

Public status page

Create a public, branded page showing real-time service status to your customers. Increase transparency and customer trust.

SLA / on-call escalation

Set up alert chains to meet SLA targets. If the first alert isn't acknowledged, it notifies the next on-call person.

Multilingual support

The entire interface and all notifications are available in Hungarian and English. Communicate with your clients in their preferred language.
