Monitis
Also Monitis provide 1 min monitoring
monitis and mon.itor.us features
Thank you for including monitis and mon.itor.us in your review. Although I should mention there are some incorrect and missing information. First of all both services from day one support PING, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP and DNS monitoring + TCP, SIP, MySQL monitorings. Monitis also support HTTP authentication, page content verification and form submission. Recently Monitis also adds Amazon Web Services EC2 Monitoring.
Finally both services provide CPU, memory, storage and other systems health monitoring for Linux and Windows servers.
Incorrect info about Dotcom-Monitor
Hi guys,
I use Dotcom-Monitor.com as a website monitoring solution and see that your data are far from being accurate.
First, they offer frequency from 1min to 4 hours. The number of sites is unlimited.
Services include HTTP/HTTPS/SMTP/POP3/IMAP/FTP/DNS/SSH and many more include even temperature monitoring on remote servers.
They can verify page contents, send forms and monitor multi-step transactions. HTTP authorization is also available. As you can see, all the fields of the table can be filled with check marks :)
Regards,
Melissa

Webcron is an interesting one as well
Webcron is new in Server monitoring and I like it. Ofcourse it sends the alerts when server is down but the great thing is the way it shows reponse time from all the stations. It is a cheap way to check your response times from all over the world.
basicstate.com
There are a couple of corrections with respect to basicstate.com as listed in the matrix.
They are:
tests are not ping, but http, https and dns
alerts are also available by SMS @ $0.25 each
email reports include latency for dns, connection, ttfb, ttlb. (time to first byte, time to last byte)
unlimited sites may be signed up under a single account
Thanks for reading this!
