Release Notes

What's new in Ping1

Every update to the app and monitoring engine, newest first.

Latest
v1.8.1 July 2026
  • Ping1 now tells the two situations apart: if our monitoring service is having trouble, the app shows a clear "under maintenance" message instead of incorrectly flagging every one of your sites as down
  • Added a direct reachability check of Ping1's own infrastructure, so an outage on our end is detected immediately — no false alarms about your websites or servers
App
v1.8.0 July 2026
  • Website monitors now detect real HTTP error codes (404, 403, 500…) instead of only reporting full outages
  • New: detection for suspended hosting accounts and parked domains — catches sites that return "OK" but are actually broken
  • Monitor detail screen shows the exact status code and issue for the latest check
Platform
v1.7.0 July 2026
  • Domain expiry monitoring — Ping1 now tracks domain registration expiry for your website monitors, with a 30-day warning and daily reminders in the final week so you never lose a domain by accident
  • Domain expiry status shown right on the monitor card and detail screen alongside SSL status
  • Admins can now edit monitors directly from the admin portal
App
v1.6.0 June 2026

  • SSL data refreshes daily and immediately when a new monitor is added
