Downtime is not a rare event. For any site running on shared hosting or a single unmonitored VPS, undetected outages of 5-30 minutes happen regularly.
The difference between monitoring and not monitoring:
Without monitoring: you find out when your affiliate manager emails asking why conversions stopped, or when a reader tweets at you, or when you happen to visit your own site.
With monitoring: you get an alert within 1-5 minutes of the outage starting. You know before anyone else does.
Free monitoring tools that are actually good:
UptimeRobot: 50 monitors free, 5-minute check intervals, email/Telegram/Slack alerts. Covers most needs.
Freshping: 50 monitors, 1-minute intervals on the free plan. Faster detection.
BetterUptime: Free tier with on-call escalation. Good for sites with high revenue impact per hour of downtime.
The setup takes 10 minutes. The ROI is immediate the first time it catches something you'd have otherwise missed.
