Downhound

Downhound provides outage information for over 14,000 websites, apps, games, and internet providers. It offers one of the most comprehensive global outage lists, sourcing data from hundreds more channels than traditional sites like DownDetector, such as RSS feeds and Twitter status accounts. For instance, DownDetector overlooks outages from nearly all internet providers, whereas Downhound tracks disruptions across thousands of network providers and mobile carriers. This is crucial because when a network provider fails, it's often localized yet severely impactful. If a game or social network goes down, it's inconvenient, but alternatives exist. Losing internet access entirely halts your online life—a scenario DownDetector rarely covers, partly because users can't report outages if they can't connect in the first place. For businesses, Downhound addresses cloud stack reliability challenges: modern enterprises rely on dozens of cloud providers, from major infrastructure like AWS to niche yet critical services like Calendly. If any provider fails, businesses may struggle to serve their customers—yet DownDetector monitors only a fraction of these. With Downhound documenting roughly 80 outages daily (one every 18 minutes), modern enterprises face operational disruptions multiple times a day. By presenting availability data for hundreds of cloud providers in a clean UI (focusing solely on outages, not ad-driven pageviews), Downhound serves as a vital first stop for operations teams troubleshooting online service failures.

Downhound provides outage data for over 14,000 websites, apps, games, and ISPs globally, offering more comprehensive downtime insights than traditional tools, especially covering ISPs and cloud services to quickly pinpoint disruptions.
