Ive found the best website monitoring service :-)

You could make your own monitoring service, by just running an application on your home PC that pings your server every 30 minutes or whatever, yo could even integrate it with an SMS API service such as http://www.freebiesms.co.uk so that it can tell you via SMS as soon as the site goes down.

As long as you leave the PC on, it should work.

Check out http://www.youmonitor.us/ They run a global peer-to-peer network, service is free. You download a tiny script (php, jsp, asp, etc.) to your server and essentially everyone monitors each other.

Pretty awesome, for a site that's obviously in beta.

Hi,

There are lots of website monitoring scripts and sites, the above one's mentioned by my friends are good one, but i am adding few more for your considerations;

http://www.uptrends.com/ best one
http://host-tracker.com/

Have any of you guys tried http://site24x7.com - website monitoring service?

or you could use host-tracker, they just monitor the uptime and keep logs, etc..

I've found reliable monitoring service http://www.monitis.com. It's not expensive and now is offering Christmas sales. You can subscribe for yearly basic plan for only $59.88/year
