Checkmate

Checkmate is a comprehensive server monitoring solution built to help teams maintain high availability and performance of their infrastructure. Developed by Bluewave Labs, it provides enterprise-grade monitoring capabilities in an open source package, enabling organizations to track uptime, detect issues early, and maintain service reliability without expensive commercial monitoring solutions.

Why deploy Checkmate on Hostinger VPS

Deploying Checkmate on Hostinger VPS provides a dedicated monitoring platform with guaranteed resources for reliable uptime tracking. The VPS ensures your monitoring system remains independent from the infrastructure it monitors, preventing single points of failure.
