walkthe.net - using free monitoring service

I'm using the free host-tracker.com web monitoring service to have statistics on uptime of my new site walkthe.net. I started doing this a week ago after noticing the site was down due to database connection problems, and I wanted to monitor how often it occured.

There is a second reason: asp.net application tend to go to 'sleep' when they are inactive for a while. That is actually a great feature, except that the first user that turns up afterwards needs to 'wake up' the application and might face a browser time out at that time. Having a monitoring site pinging every 30 minutes reduces the site from falling asleep.
