HTTP(S) checks are the most basic checks available on the Uptime platform, but they are by no means simplistic. Adding additional parameters provides important and useful statistics. Your basic HTTP(S) Check monitors a specific web or IP address, with optional parameters that provide additional functionality. It will likely be the first check you create, but the functionality of an HTTP(S) check allows for a variety of valuable escalation scenarios.

Uptime Status Pages can now be shared publicly. You will find that they are a useful tool for information sharing under a variety of circumstances. Internal pages offer excellent insight for your team, but public status pages provide users and other parties helpful information about your services and websites.
