My views are my own and not those of my company.
If you want to monitor only 1 site I suggest to use some free monitoring service like internetseer.com
regards
Beware of Internetseer... if you signup they will spam you with all sorts of rubbish.

They're hardly reliable either. I have to say the best free remotely hosted monitor I've seen is easymonitor.com, they don't spam you, are completely free of charge and always spot outages over around 15 minutes. I prefer in-house monitoring though, 15 minutes isn't acceptable for us.

Having tested (and paid for) hybodus for around 10 days it does seem to produce a few false alarms, which I guess other monitoring software does too, but it may be worth trialling it first (especially if your servers are further away from the monitoring box).

I wrote a simple one a while ago, but I don't think it went into production. Was a while ago now.
Sometimes, web browsers and internet connections screw up, but that doesnt mean your site is down. Assuming the others have written their software in a similar way. You ever seen an image not load, but press F5 and its back?
Well depending on how these other programmes are coded, I guess they should report some sort of error.
If you have ever seen a webpage that doesnt show its page objects until the page has completed loading, this works in a similar way. You just have to loop through the html objects, images, etc until the status is loaded, then you know your site is up. If it doesn't, you can assume something is wrong.
I will try to find the source code for it, incase anyone wants to use it or adapt it.
Regards
Andy
