We need to be the first to know when your site goes down.

Anchor Uptime was built by a team that came out of hosting and DevOps infrastructure. We learned first-hand what to expect from a monitoring tool.

Not waiting for a customer complaint to find out when your site is down.

Most small and medium-sized site owners don't realize their site is down until hours later. Either a customer writes in, sees a drop in Google Search Console, or thinks to check for themselves.

Anchor Uptime exists to bridge this gap. We notify you when your site is unresponsive for more than 1 minute. We warn you when your SSL certificate is about to expire. We remind you of the domain expiration date. We check both externally and internally that your WordPress site is actually working.

Mind your own business. We pull the technical trigger.

"We were hosting, and when a client's site went down, sometimes the client would call us, sometimes we would realize it hours later. It was both embarrassing and a problem that needed to be solved."

How did it start?

The vast majority of the tools out there are either too expensive and corporate, or so simple that they don't really work. There was almost no reasonably priced option that offered Turkish support and could monitor WordPress from the outside in.

We wrote Anchor Uptime to fill this gap. It's built on Laravel, with a two-tier probe system - we check your site from the outside with HTTP/HTTPS and get heartbeats from the inside via the WordPress plugin. When both work at the same time, we can see much more clearly when there is a real failure.

What is it built on?

A simple, reliable and sustainable stack. Robustness, not trend.

  • Laravel + MariaDB

    The most mature backend framework in the PHP ecosystem. Queuing, scheduler and ORM - we run it all on Laravel, backed by enterprise experience.

    PHP 8.3

  • Dual Probe System

    Frontend Probe checks HTTP/HTTPS from the outside. WordPress Plugin sends a heartbeat signal from the inside. When both work together, false alarms are minimized and real failures are immediately visible.

  • REST API

    All monitoring data is accessible via an API protected by a Bearer token. You can build your own dashboard or automation flow on top of Anchor Uptime data.

It's made by Digital Kernel Software.

Anchor Uptime is developed and operated by Digital Kernel Software, a team working in web hosting, server management and software development. Coming out of the middle of infrastructure and DevOps, we know exactly why Anchor Uptime is essential.

This tool was first written to meet our own needs. Then, when we saw that others had the same problem, we opened it up to everyone. We continue to develop it.

What are we standing on?

  • Transparency comes first.

    Pricing is clear, payment infrastructure is clear (Paddle MoR), data policy is clear. There are no surprises. We even tell you what will appear on your bank statement.

  • False alarm = loss of trust.

    That's why we have a double probe system. When the alarm goes off, there's a real problem. We don't want to mislead by saying, "There's a wolf."

  • Simple, no unnecessary features.

    Tracking, notifications, history. Without these, a site owner cannot survive. The rest is optional. When you open the Dashboard, you instantly see what you need to do.

  • We eat with our own spoon.

    anchoruptime.com is monitored by Anchor Uptime. If the car breaks down, we're the first to notice. That keeps us motivated and honest.
