What it does

Worried about your website? BasicState’s got your back. BasicState runs a website monitoring service which ensures that your site is up and running properly. It will alert you whenever there’s a problem with your site via email and SMS text message. The service checks your site every 15 minutes and you’ll be sent a daily email report of your site’s performance. As a BasicState user, you can add as many sites as you wish. You can also tailor default and backup alerts to your preferences. Additionally, BasicState watches sites that provide network services for your site—for example, payment gateways and ad networks. If any of these sites have trouble, you’ll be alerted. All of BasicStates services are free.

In their own words

“Be alerted immediately by email or sms text message if your site ever becomes unavailable for any reason including network outages, server outages, server overload, dns configuration, or ssl certificate problems.

You can add as many sites and users as you like. You can tailor default, backup and emergency alert schedules to your preferences. And it's completely free forever.”

Why it might be a killer

This is a gem of service. For website owners and managers, outages, downtime, server overloads, etc are serious setbacks. However, with BasicState, users will be alerted immediately if anything happens to their site. Moreover, BasicState provides free uptime stats and graphs, so they can easily analyze their site’s overall health.
