Keeping Glitch Projects Online 24/7 ( ᵔ ᴥ ᵔ )

Recently, Glitch stopped accepting requests from UptimeRobot to keep projects online. They're now only holding 24/7 projects with the $10/month premium plan. With that type of price, you could pay for a real VPS and not need to use Glitch.


Method 1 (Transfer from Glitch to Repl.it)

To transfer your project from Glitch to Replit, create a free Replit account and then go to the Glitch Import Page. You will have to use Repl.it as your IDE now.

  1. Make sure your Glitch project is public (so repl.it can copy it) and paste the glitch.com/edit/#!/project-name link into the box.

  2. The language automatically defaults to Linux Bash. Change the program language to Node.js.

  3. When everything is set up, you can enable UptimeRobot for your Repl (using this domain) since they don't block it. And, that's it! Your project will now be online 24/7.


Method 2 (Using Repl.it as a Pinging Service)

This method will let you continue using Glitch as an IDE, but it's against Glitch terms of service so I'm not responsible if you get in trouble for using it.

  1. Go to the Github Import Page and put github.com/whasonyt/glitch247 in the box. Change the program language to Node.js.

  2. Find this part of the code and add your own sites in. If you're using this for Glitch projects, enter the project-name.glitch.me domain.

  3. When everything is set up, you can enable UptimeRobot for your Repl (using this domain) since they don't block it. And, that's it! Your project will now be online 24/7 by using Repl.it as the middle-man.


Method 3 (Buying Glitch Premium)

  1. Go to Glitch's pricing page
  2. Click "Choose Pro" and select a pricing type. Click "Choose Pro" again
  3. Pay TIP: If you have a promo code from Glitch's emails, use it
