It's not in the docs, so no, it's not currently possible. Why do you need it? What problem would it solve?

It's necessary to detect my server is running or not. We cannot relay on connection with google.com. Because if your ISP allow only google.com. This entire module will fail it's purpose.

We used to support a hostnames option, but it was removed in 302d8e5. I think we should bring it back, but only try the those hostnames if all the 3 current checks fail.

@silverwind Thoughts?

Yes, please. I need this option too. Thanks!

[sindresorhus]

@deadcoder0904 Go ahead :) Don't forget to add tests and docs (readme + index.d.ts).
