Nagios
aNag on my Android phone to connect to my Nagios instances and I get alerts on my phone via this mobile app if something goes wrong. When you get woke up in the middle of the night to 4 vibrates of your phone to indicate something went down, you really know who is a 100% uptime provider.
I have dedicated servers and customers on VPS servers I monitor.
Uninterested in having my nap interrupted at 4AM, so I'll pass on that.
Besides, why would you operate a one man shop if that really was that important to you? There should be other people around to take care of things when you aren't around.
I'm using uptime robot as well, using keyword checking to make sure DB is working as well.
My two most important ones host sites with pretty active communities with people online 24/7, so if those go down, they just blow up my /msg window on IRC. I use OpenStatus 2 for monitoring the rest, and backup monitoring of those two important ones.
I thought they were $15/month for unlimited checks a few days ago, but now I'm checking they have new pricing:
$8/month for 5 monitors
$15/month for 200 monitors
$50/month for 200 monitors + voice notifications (for providers)
