Uptime Kuma VPS Hosting from €12/mo

Why host your own monitor

• Independent from what you monitor — run it on a different server than your site, so an outage of one does not silence the alerts.
• Your data stays with you — checks, history and notification settings live on your server.
• Public status page — publish a status page for your customers from the same dashboard.

Install with Docker

docker run -d --restart=always -p 3001:3001 -v uptime-kuma:/app/data --name uptime-kuma louislam/uptime-kuma:1

Open port 3001 (or put it behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS), create the admin account, then add monitors: HTTP(S), TCP port, ping, DNS or keyword checks. Add Telegram under Settings → Notifications.

Which plan

Core VPS 4 at €12/mo is more than enough: Uptime Kuma itself uses a small fraction of 8 GB RAM, so the same server can also run a database, a reverse proxy or other self-hosted tools.

Quick answers

Is Uptime Kuma free?

Yes, it is open-source software. You pay only for the server it runs on.

Should it run on the same server as my site?

Better not. If that server goes down, the monitor goes down with it and nobody gets the alert. Use a separate server.

Monitoring that does not go down with your site From €12/mo, card or crypto, live in minutes. View plans
