I signed up for a Pingdom account a few days ago for a new site, and have found it to be really good. I signed up for their "Basic" Account, which includes 5 checks, 20 SMS alerts (could be higher) and unlimited emails for $9.95/month. I haven't been able to test how effective it is at alerting me when the server is down, as I have luckily not had any downtime on my site. |

Here is simple service: Down Notifier http://downnotifier.appspot.com/ 1) it's free! 2) it's easy to start (10 seconds to subscribe to notification) 3) it's really easy! no need to register. |

AlertFox offers web monitoring plus web transaction monitoring. It runs the tests in real IE and Firefoxm, and you receive a screenshot of the site when an error is detected - very useful. It proved useful to convince our sys admin that there was indeed an error on "his" server (php update bug) :D |

https://www.alertsite.com for example, but usually these are not for free. Actually if somebody can recommend a free solution i am also interested. |

I use Watchmouse. It costs about $50 a month to monitor 2 IP addresses. |
