Nixstats - anyone still using, is the company alive and kicking?
I've had the services working till now... had a 2 yrs prepaid which expires this month. Their support / replies to emails have been non-existant from last several months, though the services keep functioning fine.
Was just wondering, if people are still using NixStats or moved to a better more reliable hosted alert system. If so, please mention.
Thanks

It's pretty much dead. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/190034/warning-nixstats-is-abandonware
I tried 360Monitoring but they didn't support AlmaLinux 9 or Debian 12 at the time so I didn't proceed with that. Given it's owned by Webpros, it's not actually badly priced at all.
Currently using a mix of BetterUptime for websites & general uptime monitoring, HetrixTools for simple server resource monitoring as well as Netdata Cloud for some in-depth monitoring.
I am still using it ... Luckily the basic functions don't really require any support or such, I suppose...
but I guess it will become a problem soon or later on newer system, as time progresses
It was sold ages ago, don't touch it.
Definitely move up to HetrixTools. It simply cannot be beat. I'll shill for them every day and all I want in return is my regularly priced service.
You can switch to:
https://hetrixtools.com/pricing/uptime-monitor/
https://uptimerobot.com/pricing/
https://pulsetic.com/pricing/
Free plan on all of them. HetrixTools is the most advanced, as stated by other members.
HetrixTools I have been using casually for 1-2 servers, but will consider now. UptimeRobot is a gem for http/s tracking, never failed me.
Thanks everyone for your views... It sure will be a bit of work to move all my servers to HetrixTools but better prepare now than repenting.
I used to Nixstats but I think it is dead now.
HetrixTools is better.
Take a look at https://dmon.io/ it is new and free, does resource monitoring.
