Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

updown.io is an uptime monitoring service from France. It checks whether your sites respond and alerts you when they do not, and the pricing follows just two variables: how many sites you watch and how often each one is checked.

The service runs in the EU on Hetzner, which makes it a European alternative to the American monitoring platforms. The simple, low cost model suits small teams and individuals who look after a handful of sites and do not need a full enterprise monitoring suite.

Sender authorisation

Google Workspace

Non-European provider

SPF include:_spf.google.com

Google Workspace is authorised to send email for this domain. The SPF entry can be unused or stale and does not reveal the configured data region.

Current DNS record ↗Provider setup guide ↗

This is a targeted check, not a complete zone inventory. Generic Google and Microsoft verification tokens are ignored because they do not prove product use or a data flow. DNS normally cannot list arbitrary subdomains or customer-chosen DKIM selectors, including Salesforce selectors. Missing signals are not proof that a provider is unused.
