Cloudkick did offer free trial services, and I was going to try it — even though my Linode has had a 100% uptime. I mean, why not. I was just going to check it out.
But considering that their cheapest monitoring service costs 5 times as much as my Linode, I think I’ll pass.
I have to agree with Ryan. As much as I would love a service for monitoring, etc, it seems like this is more geared towards clients who have a cluster of dedicated servers, rather than VPS’s.
“The Developer plan is FREE forever and includes: unlimited basic monitors [Ping, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH], 1 user, 1 week data retention, email alerts, wiki support”
I use Cloudkick to do some monitoring of our production site on EC2 and linode for our staging env @ the moment. I’ve been using their free plan for 5 months and it works great. If nothing else it delivers free text messages to my cell (setup with Gmail) when a server drops. Gotta love that.
Also they’re a start-up progressing quickly so new features are rolling out often.

Here it says “FREE for the first 30 days”

FYI it now says free forever. I just signed up for an account. Seems kinda neat. =)
Where is the API key they are asking for hidden away on our account settings? 🙂
