well, if you can`t beat them....join them?
sweet.. 10 is a good number. Its also a number you can use to turn this into a business.

If you ever ditch the freemium model, say first 3 sites are free and the rest you charge for.

This will please the common joe schmoes like myself who have a couple of sites but might not want to pay (my uptime isn't super critical...yet). Secondly it'll show other business who have 5+ servers (like we do at work) that you're taking it seriously. And more importantly it'll bring in money for you to cover the costs and maybe turn it a real business.

Pingdom has other features that they charge for so it might be worthwhile looking there...if you ever want to run it as a business. I know on your site it says this was a past time project and maybe you'd prefer to keep it just that...which is totally cool

true, but I think you missed the my point. Because the site is so easy to use don't make me do all this work to use something so simple. just enable multiple sites / email and i'll be happy as a user because it solves my need in 2 steps.
I have a couple of websites but one primary email account. So when I tried to add the second site I got this message: "We only allow one monitoring per email."

Is there a specific reason for that? I'd like for all my sites to come to one email since its the only one I check regularly.

Other than that I really like it. Super simple and easy to use. good stuff.

No legal stuff yet...actually we're not sure how/what the legal stuff entails. If anyone can lend us a helping hand or just point us in the right direction we'd really appreciate it.

Privacy is another feature we'll be implementing soon...good point.

Re:Ask HN: My site's popular. How would YOU monetise it? on Wednesday August 12, 2009 @10:35AM (#758164)
fantastic idea! you gotta do the shirts. some of these lines are hilarious and most importantly original.

p.s. y combinator should have a "forgot my password" button...or if they already do, make it a little more prominent
