Hey everyone! My job recently had a rough experience with website hosting and server migration. The company managing our site noted their downtime, but it lasted beyond what they had scheduled, and now they're blocking public access to info about those extended outages. Unfortunately, I didn't have any monitoring set up to capture this information. I've been searching for tools to track past uptime, but everything I've found seems outdated, incorrect, or just requires setup before any issues occur. Does anyone have suggestions for tools that could help?

I totally get your frustration! Unfortunately, if you didn’t have monitoring set up beforehand, you won’t be able to dig up much data. But you can check out Downdetector for any public reports related to your host. For future monitoring, consider options like UptimeRobot, HetrixTools, or even the self-hosted Uptime Kuma.
Yeah, I've been in a similar situation before. Without prior monitoring, you’re somewhat out of luck. You could try the Wayback Machine to see if any sign of downtime was recorded. Otherwise, I'd recommend Servervana for free uptime tracking when you decide to set up monitoring.
For what it's worth, I built a tool you can host yourself that goes beyond basic uptime checks. It's a good way to keep an eye on your whole site in the future!
You might want to try Uptime Kuma; it's a self-hosted option that you could use for free. It’s a solid tool if you decide to monitor in the future too.
