We have this at our website monitoring and recovery service https://t1mr.com and it's free.

Would you consider adding a check for particular string on page? That would be handy.

Also, if you check SSL cert validity, you should totally advertise that! I remember I've been paying for one such service where they would monitor SSL url, but would not alert you about SSL cert expiration. I found out the hard way.

Sure, checking for a string on the web page is also in the basic functionality. We also ping your site every minute, so you'll know about problems immediately.

The advanced (paid) functionality is a restart of your vps or other automatic ssh action trying to recover it when it's down.

This looks quite handy! I've got an SSL certificate installed from StartSSL and I'm getting this error though:

    [Errno 1] _ssl.c:504: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Hmm, seems I missed a step installing this certificate. No worries, I'm on it :)
