Just as a note, something that I enabled a while back was a status page showing connectivity of the web site. I didn't really think it was very useful considering it only showed the site and not my server computer, so I didn't share the link. Recently, however, I discovered a workaround of how I could make it work for the server as well.
So, for anyone interested (there's a link in the left menu as well), you can visit the systems status page here. The web site one can be useful if you're unable to connect or if you're getting errors and want to see if it's just you. The server one will be the same thing, though it's really only useful to tell whether connectivity to the server is impacted (since it's not technically checking the server connection port), so when the server program itself crashes, it won't reflect that. It will, however, reflect things such as power or internet outages on my end.
Just for folks that may be interested!
Add: I should note that it usually takes a couple minutes or so for that page to reflect outages!
