Question
How can I monitor my website's status?
Answer
There are dozens of free and non-free services that are capable of monitoring your website and notifying you if that web page goes down. A free service that we enjoy and use ourselves is Basicstate.com. Not only does this service keep a constant monitor on your site, it's also capable of monitoring DNS, Ad networks, and more.
We also find the capability of being notified via SMS an extremely useful feature that most other services don't have.
