Is there some way to log when your hosted site is not available (ie: "down")? Something that will run on a local machine and "hit" your site and log any time your index page is not available?? Perhaps a 3rd party monitor?

I suspect my hosted site is "down" more than "advertised" by the host...

I've been using StatusTracker for awhile. I actually have it set up to email my cell phone when sites go down. Very handy tool, IMO.

The free version has a limit of, I believe, 100 sites.

A new web-based monitoring service that my company released recently is mon.itor.us (see my sig). You can read the press release I wrote about it on the company blog: (Ajax-powered monitoring service). We released it only recently, so we are still looking for feedback about it, but we feel that the main advantages are ease of use, customization options, and flexibility. Check it out and feel free to tell us (me) what you think.
