Uptime Site Bot: know when a site is down

Your site went down at night and you heard about it from a customer in the morning? Uptime Site Bot exists so that does not happen: it watches your sites and messages you in Telegram when something goes wrong.

The idea is simple. You add a site and the bot checks it every 5 minutes. When it spots a problem, it sends you a message right away.

Five minutes between checks: enough or not

For a personal blog, a landing page or a small shop, a 5-minute interval is usually fine. A dip shorter than that window can slip through, but longer outages get caught.

If you run a heavily loaded service where every minute counts, treat this as a first layer of control, not the only one.

What the bot does

• Watches your sites. The addresses you add are checked on a schedule.
• Speaks up only when needed. If everything is fine, you are left alone.
• Lives in Telegram. Alerts arrive where you already spend your day.
• Has a web side. The bot description points to the project's website, where monitoring can be managed.

The bot's command menu is empty, so all actions go through the chat and buttons.

Connecting a site

1. Open the bot and press Start.
2. Add the site address following the bot's prompts.
3. Wait for the first check and confirm the status looks right.
4. Pin the chat or keep sound on so an alert does not slip by.

What it costs

Directories list the bot as freemium. The project website lets you add sites without paying, while the contents of the paid upgrade are not publicly described, so read the terms inside the bot.

An alert just arrived: now what

Stay calm and verify first: open the site from your phone over mobile data. Sometimes the problem is local.

• Down for everyone. Check your hosting, server status and domain renewal date.
• Loads with an error. Look at web server logs and recent updates.
• Expired certificate. Renew SSL, a common reason for sudden failures.

What monitoring will not replace

An availability check shows whether a site responds, but it does not know if the cart, a contact form or payment works. Important flows need their own checks.

It also helps to keep backups and know how fast you can restore from one. The bot tells you about the problem, and fixing it is still your job.
