Server uptime monitor?

We're currently using pingdom, however I'm looking for alternatives that can monitor around 5 servers for free / a low fee.
A nice UI is a plus

Nodeping.com is a good one. Cheap and very good for what you get!
@PhilND Those unlimited SMSes are really nice, however I'll wait for more suggestions
http://www.uptimerobot.com/ ?
StatusCake is good, they got free and paid plans
No point with unlimited SMS ==> Just use gMail and forward your SMS to your phone
Love uptimerobot. Free, reliable, no false positives.
StatusCake seems nice, but they only monitor HTTP, which is fine for our website, but not ping (for VPS nodes) or TCP port (test Minecraft server).
UptimeRobot +1
Well, I'm using pingdom for my sites... Of course that's because I have a lot of emails... Hehehe...
PingDom, UptimeRobot, another 2 services and my own monitor
+1 UptimeRobot
UptimeRobot it is! Except there is no public reports page ;(
@SimpleNode - but they are providing nice API so you can always write your own
I'm using pingdom business and I am fairly satisfied with it.
+1 for UptimeRobot as well

V2 is on its way...
@gbshouse Can you give me some links, or tutorial, or maybe a developed one, monitoring interface integrated with uptimerobot API ?

Free Combination of uptime robot, binarycanary and status2k does my job.
Yay,Double post cause I am awesome.
@Taz_NinjaHawk Status2K isn't free
I said the combination was free. Not the software.
If you have a windows server, look at prtg by paessler.
They have a free 10 or 20 sensor license if i remember correct.
Vouch for them. Works perfectly!
uptimerobot for me
What's the best server uptime with the most beautiful public reports page? I'm thinking Pingodm, but enlighten me please
Statuscake got better public report page than Pingdom IMO =D
