About web-down

web-down.com checks websites every five minutes and tells you if something is wrong. That's the whole product. It's built for solo founders, freelancers, and small agencies running their own sites and clients' sites — without a DevOps team, an SRE rotation, or a Pagerduty plan.

The maker

web-down is built and operated by flndrn — the same solo operation behind my-whois.com, cyclingtravel.cc, and a small portfolio of other independent products. No team, no advisors, no investors — just a developer who thinks the best tools for solo founders should be made by other solo founders.

Why this matters

web-down.com is 100% self-funded, sustainable, and independent. That isn't marketing — it's a deliberate operational choice. There are no VC investors who could push for an exit, no PE acquirer who might raise prices once you're locked in, no Series-A pressure to gut the free tier or chase enterprise contracts. The roadmap is accountable to the people who pay for it, not to a board of directors who've never used the product. If web-down keeps existing, it's because customers find it valuable enough to pay for — full stop.

What this means for you

Predictable pricing — the tier prices listed today are the prices you'll see next year. Gradual feature growth, not a feature explosion designed to justify a fundraise. Direct communication with the maker — when you reply to a support email or send a contact form, the person reading it is the same person who built the product. No ticketing-system queue, no first-line support reading from a script.

Where it runs

web-down is operated from Belgium, with monitoring infrastructure in a European data center. Cyprus is the future operations base. Customer data is handled with EU-friendly defaults — no US-centric data export, GDPR-aware by design, cookieless self-hosted analytics. Email is sent from noreply@web-down.com with replies routed to admin@flndrn.com (the support inbox). We never render email addresses or IPs in the UI.
