Is there any other good free web site monitoring service (similar to QwkMon.com)? I tried InternetSeer but it's not accurate.

I pulled a old p-60 /w win 95 on it our of the shed and threw Server Alive on it and it pages me when a server is not responding.. Is this what your looking for?

Well, I'm actually looking for an online free monitoring service, like QwkMon or NetMechanic Server Check Pro.

The only good free one I've found so far is http://uptime.alal.com/uptime/

qwkmon isnt free its a trial =( after 2 months of using it i get an email stating that my free trial is up in a week and i must join to continue the monitoring service.

Now my percents never worked so im not sure if im going to go with qwkmon i dont really like or feel there service is acurate i do like internetseer though there reports are more acurate.

I've used www.1stwarning.com because you can set up unlimited domains for free... but it only checks every 3 hours. They charge for higher plans.

I'm currently using ServersAlive (http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/) - it's a program that sits on your computer so if you dont' have a dedicated connection to the Internet (cable, dsl) it probably won't work for you.

However, it can check at any interval you wish and they have a free version for download. They only difference is that the paid version ($90) has support for unlimited domains/checks while the free version is limited to a small number (I think 10)

I've been using it for about 3 months now and it works really well... it's even got pager/email notification, stats, etc.
