I've heard
www.pingdom.com mentioned several times. Personally, I haven't used it but you may want to check it out.
Pingdom provides monitoring and alerting services, but not sysadmin services.

I'm not a Pingdom user either, but as I understand it they're only a third-party monitoring service who won't actually be able to do anything when your server goes down, which doesn't sound like what quinncom is looking for.
Linode does have the Shutdown Watchdog which will automatically start your Linode in case it turns off unexpectedly, but that also seems more like an automated solution that can't do actual troubleshooting for anything that might be more serious.
not really my area of interest. sorry.
