RE: SOT - site monitors
I love wormly.com! Its cheap and highly configurable. They do remote monitoring of your website and you can install an agent if you want to monitor and get alerts on CPU, disk space etc. You can configure escalation schedules, get SMS messages and even get an automated phone call on an error.

pingdom.com offers a trial service, for some reason I thought they had something free, but they may have changed that.
