Iain, Thanks for making improvements to atlas! Here are a few thoughts on it:
o What about having a search bar front and center, and not off in the corner? I think it could be more obvious visually that it's a good widget to use.
o When you sort the Top 10 relays (or any set of relays I'd guess), it'd be useful to have a visual indication of which column is sorted, and in which direction.
o Sorting the uptime column, it looks like it sorts as a string and not as a number. So it sorts to: 107d, 12d, 15d, 20d, etc.

..Thanks for the suggestions.
What would be handy with dozens of VPSs would be to control them as one for numerous things. Do you know of anything which does that from Windows?

A server monitoring tool. :-)

There are many good options. I like StatusCake because they have a free tier which does everything you'd need for monitoring Tor relays. You can have it verify the fingerprint of your relay (via the information exposed by your DirPort) at the same time it checks if it's running.
There are a lot of other choices for hosted monitoring. Pingdom is a popular commercial choice.
There's also a wide variety of open source tools if you want to do it yourself and not rely on a third party. Icinga is a popular open source choice.
