Adding even more uptime check locations to Oh Dear
We're starting this new year strong with an additional new 8 locations to check your websites from!
Increasing our website monitoring coverage
We've just finished adding uptime capacity in the following locations:
- Asia: Seoul & Singapore
- US West: San Francisco & Los Angeles
- Middle-East: Bahrain
- United Kingdom: London
- South America: Sao Paulo
- Africa: Cape Town
That's 8 new locations to configure any website monitoring from!
In all our previous locations, we've increased our server capacity to support our continued growth.
World-wide locations
We're proud to say we have uptime capacity in just about any location around the world.
Our most popular ones still include Europe (Frankfurt is #1, Paris is #2) with Dallas (US mid) at a close #3.
We'll revisit those numbers in a year to see how the user-base is shifting. 😀
All our monitoring IPs in one place
We've updated our page with all our monitoring IPs as well. You can now get the list of IPs in a few handy formats:
- Plain text: ohdear.app/used-ips
- As JSON: ohdear.app/used-ips.json
- As CSV: ohdear.app/used-ips.csv
- As a CloudFlare rule: ohdear.app/used-ips.cf
As we've added new capacity, you'll find new IP addresses in those lists.
Brexit-proof
With the new European reality of the UK, the need for a dedicated UK location was clear. We were already starting to receive the first questions from clients about a UK-based location, as they are restricting who can visit their websites using GEO-location of the IP address.
With our new London capacity, uptime checks will be coming directly from within the UK and any IP-to-location check will match the UK.
