Web server monitor software?

Is there a software that you can configure to send an email notifying if a local website in your intranet or internet is down?

There are a lot of monitoring agents that trigger an alert. We use Patrol Alerts / BMC Impact Manager at my job.

Lots of free open source options, too:

Cacti: The Complete RRDTool-based Graphing Solution
Nagios - The Industry Standard in IT Infrastructure Monitoring

Is this for yourself or your company? Where do you host (shared hosting, virtual server, co-locate or data center)?

Nagios is a great software and it's free and you can use it for monitoring almost every thing you have in your network.
