I've been using WebWatchBot to monitor our IIS website externally via port 443 for a good 5 years now and am frustrated with it's lack of stability. We spent ~$1000 on this product over these 5-6 years and I can't say I've been thrilled. We're on version 4, so maybe that's the problem, but we've been running the same HTTP POST command for the last 5-6 years to determine if our site is up and responding. I'm not opposed to a third party monitoring service. What do you folks use or recommend for basic port 80/443 monitoring?

Have you looked at ManageEngine's Application Monitor?

You don't have to pay for it if you are running Vista Ultimate, Business, Win2008 and Win7 Ultimate and Business because you can use Windows Scheduler to run a report which will show more problems than you already know.
Kind regards,

Servers Alive used to be pretty cheap and work well.
Note that you need to set up a couple places from which to monitor from since one of them could be down and not your site.
We used "watch my server" or something like that on the Internet here for awhile. Seemed to work OK.
