But there is something more interesting, even for the website owner. Assume that you host a website with any hosting service. Some downtime can be expected for every service and this is acceptable. A major portion of this downtime would be planned (maintanence) a small portion would be unplanned. When there is an unplanned downtime, is it possible for the web hosting service to send you a short email. A short email that says that the site was down, for how long it was down and also what happened to any emails that were received during the down time. The downtime could be a few minutes or a few hours, sending such an email to all website owners should be expected. But how many web hosting services actually do this? Ofcourse, you can pay more and get a third party service to tag and monitor your web site. But why should you be doing this, when the information is fully available with your web hosting service?

We've been using Panopta (http://www.panopta.com) for a while and have been quite impressed with their service - it's caught several short outages that we would have otherwise missed.
