Thank you! (my site)... SSLPing didn't get as much attention on HN as SSHCheck does...

Well then let me thank you again :) Very slick UI, signed up in seconds, set myself up in under a minute.

What are your plans with it? Just leaving a free service running or do you want to add paid plans as well? (and if not, I would recommend setting up at least a "Support" plan of some kind; it sends a strong signal)

Thanks again :)

I have no set plan yet (the site is 1yr old)... SSLPing monitors almost 6000 servers daily, 250+ users... so maybe I'll follow your advice with some kind of support plan (I was thinking of donations)

Common piece of feedback I have seen in many donation-driven software projects:

Don't do donations. Do a support plan; even one as basic as "priority replies to emails". If a company wants to use your product, even if they want to pay, it's very hard to justify a donation whereas a support plan is far more readily bought.
