PrettyGoodPing: Now with, you know, Ping
When I first created prettygoodping.com, it didn’t just check SSL/TLS expiration dates and domain name expirations. It could also ping servers and make HTTP HEAD requests to check URL uptime. However, I didn’t add the existing ping and HTTP HEAD checks to the beta accounts. That made for a simpler launch as there were fewer things to go wrong, but it also made for a more confusing name. PrettyGoodPing didn’t, you know, ping.
I’ve been beta testing the ping and HEAD checks in my own account for a few months now and I’m happy with them. It’s time to make them more widely available.
