Hello, im asking this question because im looking for a simple uptime monitor solution. I do not have special needs and ofc I do not need enterprise solutions. Just an old style solution like it was Pingdom someeee time ago.
I read a thread on Quora but sounds like to me a "huuuge party of shameless affiliated links". This is the reason im asking you this question. Using right now nixstats for this task.
What's your advice ? Thanks 
Thanked by 1HyperSpeed

Uptime Robot - easy to setup and free (with a 5 minute interval).
Hetrix Tools - 5 free checks at 1 minute intervals. They also do free IP blacklist monitoring. Paid accounts are quite reasonable.
In addition to Uptime Robot, you may also want to give StatusCake a try. Similar to Uptime Robot, with a free plan, the checking interval would be 5 minutes.
I use @NodePing for my third party external monitoring for both Secure Dragon and my personal stuff. I have my own monitoring setup also (custom scripts along with Observium and SmokePing), but for the price and features I have no plans of moving away from NodePing anytime soon.
Uptime Doctor (5 free 1 minute intervals ping, http, etc checks) and Newrelic Synthetics for http monitoring.
NOCOLMonit, Munin+RRDTool. I'm a simple man with simple needs.Uptime Robot, StatusCake and the free New Relic system monitoring.
Nixstats+uptime robots
statuscake
Hetrix because of the 1min interval..
Nixstats and Uptime Robot doing just fine for me.
Nixstats and Statuscake.
I've been searching for a free or low cost daily SSL expiration check. UptimeRobot said they'd have it in a few weeks in mid-January, but it's not out yet.
We offer that (link), included free of charge with every website uptime monitor.
Also, thanks @kingjj and @darylweb for recommending HetrixTools, I'm really glad you're enjoying the platform.
Night-Sky by @Neoon and a self hosted Observium install. Used Uptime Robot for a while too.
Same here. :-)
Trained mutated midgets from the globe check my stuff every second and text me if it goes down.
nixstats hasn't been reliable at all from the last few months... both Website monitors and Server monitors have not been reporting proper downtimes when uptime robot would otherwise report correctly.
Zabbix - it's the best for uptime monitor and other monitoring what you maybe need (SNMP, traffic monitor, temperature monitor etc).
Yeah we noticed these issues too however their new status page template looks great (http://nixstats.dreamitsolutions.com.au)
But HetrixTools has been great for us. I find that the incident detection to be within 30 seconds and has really reasonable pricing.
Server monitoring is great too.
FYI they have an offer on WHT for 20% off for the first month with coupon 20OffWHT
@HBAndrei does a great job with HetrixTools
Edit: This is what the HetrixTools status page looks like http://status.dreamithost.com.au
I use https://updown.io/ for almost everything I have
Nagios is good as well.. my provider offers Nagios service.
Night-Sky, because it works, cost me nothing and LibreNMS for Resource monitoring.

@vfuse Nixstats, @NodePing both perform great.
Thank you for the huuuge amount of reply to my question. I really appreciate hearing your thoughts and the service youre using right now. Now begins the hardest part, testing, testing and testing
I'm thinking to use Nixstats. Do you have a rough idea what will be cost for > 15-20 servers?
free right now.
I know but in future? I need to plan
