Uptime is one of the most important metrics for ScPrime Storage Providers (hosts). The ability to keep a host/hosts online is key to the success of both the individual Storage Provider and the ScPrime network as a whole!

Hosts can go down for a variety of reasons (a very common one for Windows users is the dreaded automatic updates), and most causes are easily remedied. The issue is, how to quickly let Storage Providers know that a host is down so they can get it back up and running in a timely manner. While a few different approaches have been undertaken and tried by the team to do just this, a handy website called UptimeRobot may be the answer for the time being.

This short guide will help you get setup on UptimeRobot to setup a monitor for your host/hosts. The first step will be to navigate to the website as linked above.
