do you use a program to tell you when your host is down?

[Useless]

I wish my server would go down and just put me out of my misery. You just can't kill that damned machine. I've installed all kinds of programs and did some tweaks, all by myself, without an ounce of knowledge, and yet that cocksucker keeps running.

Go figure.

Anyway, a couple of years ago I used Internetseer. It was ok for what it is.
