About Uptime Kuma

Uptime Kuma monitors websites, APIs and services, and alerts you immediately if anything is down – via email, Telegram, Slack and over 90 other channels. This self-hosted alternative to UptimeRobot offers attractive, public status pages and response time statistics in a modern, intuitive interface. With managed Uptime Kuma Hosting from OpenHosting, it becomes a watchdog that is itself reliably monitored.

The core benefit is response time and transparency. You learn about an outage before your customers call, spot gradual degradation early from the response-time statistics, and communicate incidents proactively via a public status page – with your own domain in the Business plan. Monitors for HTTP/S, Ping, DNS, TCP ports and certificate expiry are set up in just a few minutes.

Who is Uptime Kuma suitable for?

Uptime Kuma is ideal for Swiss agencies that monitor client websites and use public status pages to ensure transparency, for SMEs with business-critical online shops and booking systems, and for IT managers who do not want to find out about outages from customer calls. Hosting providers and internal IT teams also use the status pages to demonstrate availability visibly to customers and colleagues.

Uptime Kuma Hosting in Switzerland

OpenHosting operates your Uptime Kuma instance as a fully managed service in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region – deliberately separate from your own infrastructure, so that monitoring continues to function even if something goes wrong on your end. Your monitors, history and notification channels remain nDSG-compliant within the country, without access under the US CLOUD Act. Updates, monitoring and support are included in the managed service; daily 3-2-1 backups safeguard monitoring data and history (hourly in the Business plan).

When migrating from UptimeRobot, Pingdom or StatusCake, you simply set up your monitors again – without feature limits behind paywalls. After that, our support team is on hand for questions about notification channels and status pages. Managed Uptime Kuma hosting is available from CHF 9 per month – the Business plan offers high-frequency checks and a dedicated domain for your status pages.

Frequently asked questions about Uptime Kuma

How much does Uptime Kuma hosting cost in Switzerland? ▾

At OpenHosting, managed Uptime Kuma starts from CHF 9 per month with standard monitoring intervals, daily backups and email support. The Business plan with high-frequency checks, a dedicated domain for status pages and hourly backups costs CHF 29 per month.

Where is my Uptime Kuma data stored? ▾

Exclusively in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region. Swiss law (nDSG) applies – your monitors, history and notification channels are not subject to the US CLOUD Act.

Who takes care of updates and maintenance? ▾

OpenHosting runs Uptime Kuma as a fully managed service, deliberately separate from your own infrastructure: security updates, version upgrades, monitoring and backups are all included in the price. That way the watchdog is itself reliably monitored.

Can I migrate from UptimeRobot, Pingdom or StatusCake? ▾

Yes. Uptime Kuma is the self-hosted alternative to these services. You can set up your monitors again in just a few minutes – without feature limits behind paywalls and without handing your data to US providers.

Is Uptime Kuma nDSG- and GDPR-compliant? ▾

Yes. Because monitors, status pages and notification data reside exclusively in Switzerland and no data flows to third parties, meeting nDSG and GDPR requirements is far easier than with SaaS monitoring.
