You make valid points about redundancy and levels of reliability but keep in mind that even Pingdom can go down:

- imtringued 10y agoWith your own solution you will likely encounter the same problems that pingdom faced including this one. The benefit of a service like pingdom is that they already solved those problems for you or if they haven't you don't have to waste time solving them yourself. It's not very efficient if everyone solves the same problems over and over again.
