If you run sites or servers and want to be notified as soon as there is a problem with them, you can use siteuptime.com free service. They have various available monitoring options such as: http, pop3, smtp, ftp, dns, ping, ssl and custom tcp ports. They send tests at time intervals and if more than one location detects a connection failure, an email or SMS alert is sent to you.
Since this service has a public statistics page, you can use it to show your customers how stable your servers are, specially if you are in some kind of hosting business.
mon.itor.us is another completely free website montioring service with the features similar to commercial services. Why pay if there is a free service.

Try dotcom-monitor. It is also reliable.
ReplyDeleteI also use website monitoring from dotcom-monitor: it's very reliable but a bit tricky for an average user.
