Suggestions for site up-time monitoring?

Does anyone have recommendations for up-time monitoring software? I have about 3 or 4 sites I would like to track how often they're down across a mix of Windows and Linux servers.

Is there any software that you would recommend? Open source or paid is fine, as long as it works well.

I've Google'd a few options, but wondered if anyone had any personal recommendations, good experiences.

Thanks!

I used to use a very simple PHP script that fopen'd the homepage for a test of 'online'. It would then send an email or text message if a site was down. Ran on a cron job every 15 minutes. Only change that was ever required was a bit of intelligence to stop sending alerts after the first was sent.
