Your status page should live on your domain, not ours. PingBase Pro now lets you serve it at status.yourcompany.com — one CNAME record, SSL handled automatically, live in minutes.
Cron jobs fail silently — no error page, no alert, no trace. Heartbeat monitoring catches them. If your job stops pinging PingBase, you get an alert. Here's how to set it up with code examples.
PingBase now supports team member invites. Everyone on your team sees the same monitors and incidents — no more forwarding alert emails or sharing login credentials.
