Lower prices with more benefits!
To begin with, we must mention that two of the 5 existing plans have been eliminated because they were not competitive with the prices and benefits offered in the current plans, the eliminated plans have been Basic and Plus. The prices of the other plans have decreased by the following percentages:
- VIP: -50%
- VIP Plus: -33.3%
- Special: -30%
- Corporative: -33.3%
Additionally, the VIP Plus plan now has continuous monitoring and the Plus plan went from running every 20 hours to every 15.
Note: existing plans were already updated and doesn’t requires user intervention.
The reason why the VIP plan is the one that has dropped the most, is because it is also the one that offers the least benefits, you can consult this table. On the other hand, the Special plan is the one that currently offers the best cost-benefit.
These prices apply to new users as of now only. Check out our monitoring service here.
All this thanks to a problem
To explain a bit what happened: a few weeks ago we began to have performance problems on our servers due to the increase in users on the service. Initially we tried to migrate users to new servers but still the problem continued, then we learned that there was a bug in one of the tools used and we started monitoring it.
Chromium.
Our service uses the Chromium browser to take the screenshots of the websites and it works very well, the problem is that several of the processes that it executes are not terminated at the time of taking the screenshot, therefore they continue to run in seconds flat and wasting resources. A few of these processes do not represent a significant impact on performance, but after several days the number increases until it reaches a point where it consumes about 50% of the total resources of the server, limiting the execution of other tools and even user logins. The good news is that this problem has been solved and we went from having servers at 90% or 100% use to 40-45%, that means that prices will also go down.
