## What users love about our port monitoring.

I've been using the service for about a month. It has a user-friendly android app. In free plan, they ping my domain every 5 minutes and if it is down, I'm notified on my phone...

I have been using UptimeRobot for monitoring websites and services hosted in AWS, specifically for general red light, yellow light, and green light monitoring...

It's easy, fast and comprehensive. I just need to know the address of the site I want to monitor and that's it!
