Well, if you have to continually report outages, I don't consider it a practical solution. Another interesting thing is with PingAlive, even when there are no errors, I see a periodic timeout spike at about 1 hour intervals, as if some process is consuming all resources, on a regular basis. Then the timeout will turn into an error on a not infrequent basis...

I noted a 10 minute period of inaccessibility early this morning. The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error for 10 minutes. (pings occur every 2 minutes).
I also note that overnight there were two spikes of equal size - 12 seconds. This could be indicative of an app restart. The first was at 1:30am, and the second at 6:00am. I'll let it run a few days more before I make any conclusions.
I'm very interested in the results you get with PingAlive. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that Arvixe shared hosting is useless for any production database driven app, .net/SQL or php/mysql. (My son was testing a Wordpress installation and was getting frequent timeouts.) I've been monitoring a non-public (hence, no traffic) setup of nopCommerce for some time now and the frequency of errors and timeouts is abysmal. They may clean things up temporarily if you complain long enough, but they can never (or are unwilling to) correlate the errors from PingAlive with anything on their end and the problems always start up again quite soon afterwards. They would first try to discredit the PingAlive errors as invalid, but I have on numerous occasions gotten the same errors or delayed response in a browser if I happen to do a page load at the same time that PingAlive is reporting a problem. I realize that shared hosting isn't adequate for heavily accessed sites or for sites with large databases, perhaps, but it should be for small, light traffic sites.

I only had a chance to try a couple of times today on a Win7x32 box. First time with a number of page loads nothing happened. Second run, it error-ed right on first page load when debugging started.

If it is shared hosting with Arvixe, their servers tend to be somewhat overloaded with too many databases per server. If you are patient and provide sufficient detail, you may be able to get the to look into it. Submit a trouble ticket with them and provide specifics on the errors or problems you are seeing.
