Server Upgrade Scheduled
29 Jul 2025
We're upgrading Downtime Monkey's main server to a Proxmox-based cloud cluster on 1st September, 2025 at 3:00 AM UTC.
There are several benefits to using Proxmox, including speed and efficiency, but the main advantage is the ease of redundancy - if one server has an issue, another can instantly take over.

New IP Address: 5.101.170.45
For most users no action is needed - monitoring will continue as before the migration.
However, if you actively whitelist our IP address, please add the new one to your whitelist in advance of September 1st.
After the migration, you can safely remove the old IP address (217.146.95.83) from your whitelist.
This upgrade is all about making Downtime Monkey more resilient, and we couldn't do it without the support of our Pro users. Thanks for being part of our journey!
