Hey HN,<p>Little Warden is a tool that my wife and I have been building in our spare time.<p>We constantly see people who lose domains due to expiration or forget about an SSL certificate renewal so we started building some software for that then it expanded more and more and now it performs loads of the checks you tend to forget about once a site is launched.<p>LW monitors everything and once a day sends you an email with a summary.
When your pricing page says "10 checks per URL" etc what does it mean? I assume it means that more things are checked as you move up the tiers but I couldn't find any table of what things were checked at what pricepoints.<p>Edit: there's a problem with your payments flow. I signed up, paid, and got another prompt to pay. I reloaded that page and saw that my card was saved, so I hit it again and got another prompt to pay. I signed in using the email confirmation and got a prompt to pay showing my card, which then redirected me /subscriptions which 404s. There's an authorisation sitting on my card for a null amount.
Looks neat, but it's prohibitively expensive to use for a personal website which doesn't generate revenue. I use CloudFlare (at $5/mo), but close to $17/mo for this service dwarfs my hosting + CDN fees together. I'd love to see a free or low-cost service that just checks SSL cert expiration and sends me an email 30 days before it expires. Would be great for making sure my personal website isn't broken without breaking the bank.
This seems like a great idea. I would be interested in detecting 404's as well. This would need to be configurable because not all 404's you care about, but some you likely do. Great idea none the less.
Shameless plug alert! I made something similar +/- some features.

Nice idea and execution.<p>But at £ 15 for the least expensive plan, and no free starter plan for say, just single domain owners, I think this might be prohibitively expensive for most...
