Montastic is a free website monitoring service designed for website administrators and developers to ensure their websites, domain names, and SSL certificates are functioning correctly. It provides notifications via email when issues are detected, along with customizable status pages.

Key Features

Montastic offers several key features, including monitoring of website uptime, domain names, and SSL certificates. It can also check for specific text on a webpage and send notifications when changes are detected. The service allows users to set up monitoring for multiple websites, with a minimum interval of 30 minutes for the free plan.

How It Works

To start using Montastic, users simply need to input the URL they wish to monitor and their email address. The service then checks the website at regular intervals based on the user's settings. If any issues are detected, such as the website being down or the specified text not being found, Montastic sends an email notification to the user.

Plans and Pricing

Montastic offers both free and paid plans. The free plan allows monitoring of up to three URLs at 30-minute intervals. Paid plans offer more frequent monitoring (as low as 5 minutes) and the ability to monitor more URLs.

Benefits

The main benefits of using Montastic include its simplicity, ease of use, and the fact that it is a long-standing service (operational since 2005). It also allows for multiple email recipients to be set up for notifications, making it useful for teams.
