Watch a host with ICMP ping: it answers whether the machine is reachable at all, and reports round-trip time and packet loss. Use it for servers, routers and anything with no web service on top. It says nothing about whether a site or service on that host is working - a box can ping perfectly while its web server is down. Some hosting providers block ICMP, in which case the monitor will read as down.
