Came up with this idea today when I logged in to find our web host had some issues not allowing Able to pull shipping from UPS.

It would be great if we could set an alert to trigger either an email or text message if errors go over X amount.

Could help everyone - especially those high traffic sites where an hour can make a huge difference.

You can put code in the global.asax to send emails. One hoster I use told me about the Elmah error notification. I've got it on one site and it works very well-- the emails even show a screenshot of the screen when there is an error. It can log, send emails, whichever you set up. Having an email generated has saved us a lot of grief-- knowing when something was down within a few minutes.
Here's one link to the info:
