    Site/server monitor

    I would appreciate some recommendations on site monitoring, that can not only provide outage info, but also send SMS alerts to Canada when my sites are down. I am running a shared reseller account, so it cannot be something that is too heavy with the server (if you follow me), and of course be reasonble pricing too.

    Oh, and accept paypal

    There's a way to code the monitoring yourself, but the SMS part stumps me. Looks like you might have to pay.

    You should look for an advanced monitoring system with key features such as 2 or 5 minute monitoring, custom port monitoring or sms alerts, Siteuptime etc.

    Another vote here for HyperSpin. We recently made a switch from siteuptime to hyperspin and have seen no more false positives.

    Take a look at Hybodus or if you are looking for a free one then nagios is the best.
