You can check it via the factory service. But this is probably unavailable to you on a shared host. Why not wrap your web service call with cftry/cfcatch

We have a application on a shared server, and as far as we can tell whenever the webservice can't connect to the remote server, it creates a server-crashing thread that eventually brings ColdFusion. It's on a shared box, so we're in a panic trying to get it fixed...any ideas?
