I have been using BinaryCanary for a few months now and found it to a fantastic service. I even moved my reseller hosting account due to the results.
With my previous hosting account I discovered that sites were going down in the morning anytime between 6:00am & 7:30am due to MySQL connection issues which is just not acceptable in anyone’s book.
I set up an escalation plan that first notifies me be email then by SMS if the issue is still outstanding after five minutes.
Being a hosted application means that there is no software to install.

I signed up for the Power Plan but there is an option for free service which is limited to 15 minute monitoring if you want to try it out.

Excerpted from the website:
Geni enables families to connect, share, and preserve their lives.

Users can build their family tree through our fun simple interface. Relatives who are added to the tree can join Geni and add other relatives. This makes it easy to grow your tree.

Everyone in the tree has a profile which shows more about them and enables other family members to stay in touch with them. Families can work together to build profiles for common ancestors.

Family members can also share photos, videos, events, discussions, and more. A family timeline shows the history of everyone in the family.

Geni is private. Only the people in your family tree can log in to your tree and your profile. Geni will not share your personal information with third parties. We will not sell your email address or spam you. Users control which communications they would like to receive from us.

Geni was founded by former executives and early employees of PayPal, eGroups, eBay, and Tribe, and is backed by venture capital firms Founders Fund and Charles River Ventures.
