Freshping shut down. Here's the best alternative.
Freshping is no longer accepting new signups and has discontinued its service. If you were a Freshping user, or were considering it, you need a replacement that's just as simple, just as fast to set up, and won't disappear on you.
Ping0 is that replacement.
Why Freshping users are switching to Ping0
Freshping was popular for one reason: it was simple. No enterprise bloat, no 47-step setup wizard, no sales calls. Paste a URL, get an alert. That's what Ping0 does too, and unlike Freshping, Ping0 is actively maintained and built for the long haul.
