Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from uptime alerts?
Most monitoring tools just send you an alert when your site goes down. RecoveryPulse goes further—it SSHs into your server and runs recovery commands automatically, often fixing the problem before you even see the notification.
Is SSH auto-recovery secure?
Yes. Your SSH keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256. We never store passwords. Keys are only decrypted in memory during recovery execution, and all connections use standard SSH protocol with key-based authentication.
Can I customize recovery steps?
Absolutely. You define your own recovery playbooks with ordered actions. Each action can have retry logic, wait times, and conditions. You control exactly what commands run on your server.
What if the automated fix fails?
If recovery fails, we escalate immediately—you get notified via email and SMS with full logs of what was attempted. You can also configure fallback actions or manual-only recovery for critical systems.
How often do you check my site?
We check every 30-60 seconds depending on your plan. When we detect an issue, recovery starts within seconds—not minutes. Most outages are resolved before your users even notice.
Best for VPS and single-server deployments. If you use Kubernetes or ECS, you likely already have orchestrator health checks and replacement.
