Free Monitoring Included with Every Service
HTTP/HTTPS, ping, and TCP port checks with content verification, SSL expiration alerts, and email/SMS notifications. Monitoring for services hosted on Togglebox is included free with every Cloud VPS and App Hosting account.
Monitors live in the client portal that comes with every Togglebox account — no separate tool to install or pay for.
First-class monitoring for Togglebox-hosted services, included with every account. Add the checks your services need.
Every monitor notifies you by email and SMS the moment a check fails, configured per monitor.
Enable Proactive Monitoring on any monitor for $5/month per monitor and a failed check opens a support ticket automatically.
Monitor services hosted elsewhere too — external monitors are $0.50/month each, same checks and alerts.
Know Before Your Users Do
A site that loads, a certificate that hasn’t expired, a port that answers — these are the things customers notice first when they break. Togglebox monitoring watches them continuously for every service you host on Cloud VPS or App Hosting and alerts you by email and SMS the moment a check fails. Set it up once in the client portal, and it quietly does its job until you need it. If you’d rather Togglebox act on the alerts too, Managed Support extends monitoring into fully delegated operations coverage.

Email and SMS Notifications
When a check fails, you hear about it right away — on whichever channel reaches you.
- Email alerts: immediate notification to the addresses you choose when a monitor fails, and again when it recovers.
- SMS alerts: text-message notifications for the failures that can’t wait for someone to check an inbox.
- Per-monitor settings: each monitor has its own notification configuration in the client portal, so every service can alert the right people.
Proactive Monitoring: We Open the Ticket for You
For the services where an alert should become action, enable Proactive Monitoring on any monitor — it’s a checkbox, $5/month per monitor. When that check fails, a support ticket opens automatically with our team. There’s no need to notice the alert at 3 AM and file it yourself; the ticket is already in the queue. Want Togglebox to carry more of the operational load than that? Managed Support engagements build on the same monitoring with fully delegated operations coverage. Questions about which fits?

Monitor Services Hosted Elsewhere
Monitoring isn’t limited to what you host with us. Point a monitor at any external target: a service at another provider, a client’s site, or a third-party API your stack depends on.
- Same check types: HTTP/HTTPS with content check, SSL expiration, ping, and TCP port.
- Same alerts: email and SMS notifications, configured per monitor in the client portal.
- $0.50/month per monitor: you pay only for the external targets. Monitoring for Togglebox-hosted services stays free.

What check types are supported?
HTTP and HTTPS checks, including content checks that verify the response body and SSL certificate expiration monitoring, plus ping and TCP port checks. Together they cover websites, APIs, and the service ports behind them.
How do notifications work?
When a check fails, monitoring notifies you by email and SMS. Notification settings are configured per monitor in the client portal, so each service can alert the right people.
What does Proactive Monitoring do?
Proactive Monitoring is a $5/month-per-monitor option you can enable on any monitor with a checkbox. When that monitor fails, a support ticket opens automatically with our team — you don't have to notice the alert and file it yourself. For fully delegated operations coverage, see Managed Support.
Can I monitor services not hosted at Togglebox?
Yes. External monitors — checks pointed at services hosted outside Togglebox — cost $0.50/month per monitor. They use the same check types and email/SMS notifications as monitors for Togglebox-hosted services.
Where do I create and manage monitors?
In the client portal at manage.togglebox.com. Add a monitor, choose the check type and target, set email/SMS notifications, and optionally enable Proactive Monitoring — no separate tool to install.
