Hostica - Offshore web hosting
There are numerous examples of cheap web hosting so it's difficult to know who lives up to their spiel about quality of service. Hostica is my recommendation for the situation where money is really tight and there is no requirement to host the content within Australia.

InternetSeer - Website monitoring
This company provides full web site availability monitoring for a fee but you can also get a free account that checks every hour that your site is up. You just need to agree to receive their marketing emails (usually 1-2 each week.) Note: For your notification email address don't use one that is part of your hosted domain, because if your server is down then notification emails through that server won't get to you!
