Able Watch · $99/mo

Uptime with a human attached. I watch HTTP, SSH, disk, and SSL on the hosts you give me. When something is actually down, I work it and tell you what I did.

A person on the other end of the alert

Able Watch is $99 a month so a person who does this work gets the page when your host is actually down. HTTP, SSH, disk, SSL. Houston-based. When it is actually down, I work it — a human on the other end of the alert.

After you pay, you get an email with a tokenized form. List the hosts there — one per line, https://… or user@host. That list is what I watch.

This is for

  • A small set of production hosts you actually care about
  • You want a person who can act when a ping is not enough
  • You want someone who can SSH in and work the host
  • HTTP, SSH, disk space, and certificate expiry

What you get

  • A human who can SSH in when the host is actually down
  • HTTP, SSH, disk, and SSL on the hosts you list after you pay
  • Coverage for the hosts you care about — listed one per line
  • Houston-based watch with clear follow-up when something breaks
  • Ongoing build work pairs well with a full retainer

What happens after you pay

  1. Pay the Stripe link. Watch is $99 per month until you cancel.
  2. You get an email with a hosts form. Put one host per line. HTTPS URLs and SSH user@host both work.
  3. I start watching what you listed: HTTP, SSH, disk, SSL.
  4. When something is actually down, I work what I can from the access you gave me and tell you what I did. If it needs more than a watch-fix — a migration, a rebuild, a product change — we talk first. That extra work is Rescue or Retainer, scoped with you.

What a watch-fix covers

If Apache is down, the disk is full, the cert expired, or SSH is dead, I treat that as the job and work it from the access you gave me. Larger work — a migration, a rebuild, a product change — we scope together as Rescue or Retainer.

If production is down right now and you need someone on the box today, start with Able Rescue, then add Watch so the next one is caught. Watch is the ongoing eye on the hosts you list.

Cancel on Stripe whenever you want. I stop watching when the month you paid for ends. Questions: contact.
