Monitoring Services
Hello, I would like to ask one simple question. Is there any demand for monitoring services such as Hyperspin, and is it profitable to run such a site? As far as I know you could make a some money of it.

Sure there is a need and a market for this service. As far as it being profitable not sure. You'd have to program the site, and make sure it is accessible 24/7/365. If you can get that done then the monthly fees will just continue rolling in.

There is certainly demand for such a service, but at the same time you would need to offer a good feature set to differentiate your offering enough to stand out.

Definitely focus on the right revenue model (monthly fee vs ad-supported vs other options), and you should be able to do well -- especially if you can monitor from mobile locations.

There is a demand for an uptime monitoring service.
If it's at least 3/4 the quality of hyperspin or pingdom at 1/2 the price I'll be knocking down your door to sign up.
Call me a cheap !@# don't worry I've been called worse

There is no doubt a huge demand about monitoring services, but you should concentrate on uptime and Quality rather than price. Hosting companies would not mind paying a bit more if they are assured that they are getting 100% uptime and good quality monitoring service.
