I’ve been looking for a free service like this for a while now. Most hosting companies provide network monitoring to check that web server is up, but they would not check if your application is really functioning. Currently mon.itor.us is on beta release and support only email alert, but future releases will support SMS as well as IM types of alert. I’m really looking forward to it.
