Server Monitoring Review: www.alertbot.com
URL: http://www.alertbot.com
Description: Alertbot is a monitoring service that does more than check uptime. It analyzes the http response for page content. This is helpful for making sure that your site is not only returning content but that the content is not an error message.
Key Feature: Checks page content and will even perform form submission to make sure your site is up and working.

expensive, but good
Lots of great features. Allows you to set up multiple checks per monitor. Tiered notification allows you to notify one group at (for example) 5 minutes and another at 15 or 30 minutes if the server is still down. It does allow form submission and text check which is great for verifying login environments. Cannot step into your site, though... (e.g. login and surf to a page)
