    I like Pingdom.com but HyperSpin.com is equally popular.

    If you have more than one server ( Hopefully in separate DC's / Providers )

    I find the best method is to run Cacti on both servers.
    have it monitor the server locally like normal however add the other server in as a host and simply just use ping ( or whatever other services to monitor )

    Then You will get an alert from either server if one dies . And its free as you already have servers.

    If thats too much, Simply create a php / perl script that you can cron to test certain things.
    If they fail, attempt a restart of the server automatic and then email you.

    ( thats what I do anyway.. )

    Panopta is very good but can be a bit on the pricey side.

    I've used Pingdom for as long as I can remember, and it's always been precise. It allows you to track one site for free.

    Pingdom has always done a great job for us, they offer to track up to one website for free before having to upgrade. Another tool that we've used has been UptimeRobot, it's free and lets you add up to 50 websites to your "check list", checks them every 5 minutes and sends you email notifications when websites go down and when they come back up. By far the best tool for monitoring multiple websites at once.

    You can monitor upto 5 servers with free Pingdom account. Pingdom works really well.
