About Wormly

Wormly is a hosted uptime monitoring service that checks websites, servers, and TCP/IP services from multiple nodes in the USA, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. It confirms failures across geographically separate nodes before alerting, and adds server health metrics through a one-line agent. Founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2005, it also offers free diagnostic tools such as an SMTP tester, DNS lookup, and SSL server test.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Failures are confirmed from multiple geographic nodes before alerting, reducing false alarms
Wide range of alert channels, including phone calls and SMS with included SMS credits
Combines uptime checks with agent-based server metrics in one service
Long track record: operating since 2005
No lock-in contracts and a free trial without email or credit card
Useful free diagnostic tools (SMTP, DNS, SSL, ping)

Cons

No free plan, and the $44/month entry price is high compared with uptime tools that offer free tiers
Entry plan is limited to 10 test targets and a single user
API access and 5-second checks are reserved for the $221/month DevOps plan
Fewer integrations than larger observability platforms
Interface and website feel dated compared with newer monitoring tools

Key Features

Website and service uptime checks

Monitors HTTP(S) sites and anything that speaks TCP/IP, including over IPv6, at intervals from 1 minute down to 5 seconds depending on the plan.

Multi-node failure confirmation

When a check fails, three other nodes in different regions retest it, and alerts go out only if they agree, which cuts false positives.

Multi-channel alerting

Sends alerts by SMS, phone call, email, Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty, webhooks, Microsoft Teams, and Discord.

Advanced alert schedules and rules

Fine-grained alert rules, on-call alert groups, and schedules control who gets notified and when.

Server health metrics

A one-line agent install collects CPU, RAM, disk IOPS, and service metrics for Nginx, Apache, MySQL, Postfix, and more.

Graphing engine

Charts uptime, response times, and server metrics so you can spot trends and investigate incidents.

SLA and uptime reporting

Free diagnostic tools

Public SMTP test, IPv6 web server test, SSL web server test, remote ping, and DNS lookup tools.
