We have just started a new service that monitors whether your site is available - and send you email or a text message to your phone if its not. All this, plus weekly stats and analysis sent by e-mail is completely FREE. Its kinda like NetWhistle, but we are not charging and dont plan to - ever! Have a look for yourself at www.netmonitor365.com and let me know what you think.

"Upgrades will include:
+ faster alerts
+ access to current statistics online
+ SMS alerts when site comes back up
+ protection against hacking
These upgrades will become available in the next four weeks, on a monthly subscription basis. The basic service will remain free."
So basically this is the same as services like qwkmon.com - with a basic free service and then monthly charges afterwards.
Nothing wrong with that, just I find your statements "completely free" and "we are not charging and dont plan to - ever" blatantly misleading. Clearly you will be charging and DO plan to.

c0bra the upgrades will be available as a paid option. The basic service is completely free, they don't charge for it, nor do they plan to charge for it. The statement is not misleading.

Well, been with these guys almost a week, and in that time I have been SMS'd to my mobile when my server went down, and today I got a weekly graphical report.
All I can say is thankyou netmonitor!
