Yes some people could code this themselves, but others will be willing to pay for a provided service.
Just a heads up - the language in your FAQ section for the "Why is ApiChecker monitoring your website" question and answer is a little off. You might want to revise this
here is the uptime and performance monitoring tool i've been working on as a side/pet project. It actually doesn't require any setup and allow you to monitor your websites and APIs within few seconds!
We also have features like: SSL monitoring, Public Status pages, different alert integrations: Slack, Webhook, SMS, Email, etc.
I really have a lot of fun when working on this (the dev. part), but now time comes for marketing part. And it's usually hard for developers to make good marketing - for me it's 100% true.
Come talk to me if you want to get a coupon code or something, also I would love feedback from you guys
1. This service have different servers to monitor your arability from around the globe.
And you will need to pay for servers (if you don't have set of servers already) - in case if you write your own. But even 1-2 servers will cost you more then 5$. (1 DO server cost 5$/m just for server)
2. You don't need to worry about data retention, it's saved up to 1 year. (some type of businesses require to save their SLA and uptime information for some period).
3. It have things that already build, like SSL cert monitoring, status pages, consolidated dashboard, weekly summary, diagrams and graphs.
But still agree with you, for some people this service is not required or they can build it by themselves, but can be helpful for others.
