I have a free account at Site24x7 <http://site24x7.com/>.  They access
a webpage once an hour.  If it's inaccessible, doesn't contain a
certain character string, does contain some other character, etc., it
triggers an alert.

According to their website, they offer:
  Website
  Web Application
  DNS Server
  Mail Server RTT
  Analyze Web Page
  Port Monitor
  POP Service Monitor
  SMTP Service Monitor
  Ping Monitor

I used to use a paid service from Security Space
<http://www.securityspace.com/>, where I had web, SMTP, and ping
monitoring.

According to their website, they offer:
 Web Servers (http://)
 Secure Web Servers (https://)    
 Multi-Page Web Transactions    
 Custom Coded Monitors
 Mail Servers (smtp)
 ICMP (ping)
 SNMP Agents
 POP3 Servers
 FTP Servers
 SSH Connections
 DNS Servers
 TCP Ports
 Database Servers
