When you manage dozens of websites — whether for clients or internal projects — downtime isn’t just annoying. It can mean lost revenue, damaged trust, and frantic debugging at the worst possible time.

That’s why we built a lightweight but powerful website monitoring bot.
It now tracks over 50 websites and alerts us immediately via Telegram whenever something goes wrong.

The Problem: No Time to Manually Check Everything

At Bitsens, we manage a mix of product sites, client portals, marketing pages, and internal tools.

We used to rely on ad-hoc manual checks and the occasional UptimeRobot ping. But we wanted something faster, more flexible, and tied directly into our team’s workflow.

Specifically, we wanted to know:

• When a server is down

• When an SSL certificate is about to expire

• When a site starts responding slowly

• When a domain becomes unreachable

All in one place — and ideally, in our daily Telegram flow.

The Solution: A Custom Website Monitoring Bot

Instead of using complex dashboards, we built a focused website monitoring bot integrated with Telegram.

Here’s what it does:

• Pings each site every 5 minutes
• Detects downtime or slow response
• Checks for SSL certificate validity
• Sends clean, readable alerts to our team’s Telegram group
• Includes recovery pings when a site comes back online

We can also configure per-site rules (some need stricter thresholds, others don’t).

Why Telegram?

• We already use it for internal communication

• No need to install new apps

• Faster visibility than email

• Works great on desktop and mobile

And let’s be honest — nothing grabs your attention like a bot saying:

? example.com is DOWN (503). Checked at 13:25.

Real Results: Faster Reactions, Less Downtime

Since we launched the website monitoring bot:

• We’ve caught multiple SSL issues before expiry

• Reacted to downtime within minutes — often before clients noticed

• Cleaned up legacy hosting setups that were quietly misconfigured

• Saved hours we used to spend checking links and sites manually

And best of all — the whole system was built in under a week, for less than €2,000.

Why Build Your Own Monitoring Bot?

There are many monitoring tools out there, but most are:

• Overloaded with features

• Designed for large ops teams

• Paid per-site (which adds up fast)

If you just want something fast, lean, and useful, a custom website monitoring bot might be the way to go.
