Freshping Shutdown: Migration Checklist

This is not a drill. Freshping is shutting down. You need uptime monitoring today.

Here’s the clean checklist. No fluff. Done in an hour.

1) Audit Your Current Monitors

List everything:

• Websites
• APIs
• SSL certs
• Alert channels

Put it in a simple table. You’ll use it to re‑create monitors.

2) Pick the Replacement

You need:

• 1‑minute checks
• Unlimited monitors
• No credit card
• Webhooks

exit1.dev fits. Free and fast.

3) Recreate Monitors (Fast)

Add your URLs first. Then your API endpoints. Then SSL.

# Example: add a site with curl
curl -X POST https://api.exit1.dev/websites \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com","name":"example.com","checkInterval":60}'

4) Rebuild Alerting

Freshping alerts were basic. Use that as your baseline.

• Email for the team
• Webhook to Slack/Discord
• Escalation path (pager if critical)

If you want more, add on-call later. Don’t block the move.

5) Validate

Trigger a test outage. Confirm alerts arrive in seconds.

6) Update Your Docs

• Incident response runbook
• Team onboarding
• Status page copy

This is content, too. It’s SEO for trust.

Quick Swap Table

Task	Time

Create exit1 account	2 min
Add monitors	20 min
Configure alerts	10 min
Validation	10 min
Docs update	5 min

Content Creation Bonus

Turn the migration into a story:

• “We monitor every endpoint every minute.”
• “We moved off Freshping in a day.”
• “Reliability is a feature.”

Short posts. Real proof. That’s marketing.

Conclusion

Freshping is closing. Don’t wait.
