Belgian uptime monitoring with site wide checks
BelgiumEU Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedHigh non-EU dependencyScope verdict
This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.
Operational dependency warning
Current public evidence shows 4 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 3 providers: Cloudflare, Google, Postmark / ActiveCampaign. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.
Oh Dear is an uptime monitoring service from Belgium. Besides checking whether your site is up, it crawls the whole site looking for broken links and mixed content, publishes status pages, and can notify you through many different channels when something goes wrong.
Pricing is based purely on the number of pages checked, and every plan has the same feature set, so you are never pushed to a higher tier for a single option. Built and run in Belgium, Oh Dear is a European alternative to the American monitoring services, and it suits agencies and developers who look after a set of client sites.
All plans share the same features and are priced by the number of pages checked, starting at 15 euro per month for 5 pages. The annual plan is slightly cheaper than paying monthly.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
Authorised outbound email
Why this matters
This domain authorises Postmark / ActiveCampaign to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.
