Thank you bcambel, I've just registered to pingdom.com . Pingdom.com checks HTTP / HTTPS connections to the server which could be right even if mysql server is down, isn't it?

Just to be clear, Pingdom will only check if your server (website) responds
as you expected or not.
It will have nothing to do with the mysql. Your webserver might be down (
Apache ) or database or your machine might be down. At the end of the day,
what you care is if your website is up and running or not.

Ok, so in case the database (mysql) is down, the website won't respond as I expected and pingdom will mark the status as down. This was indeed what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

What you can do is create a script that Pingdom accesses. Inside that script, you can check whether the database is responding or not among other things. If the script returns an OK, Pingdom will know that everything is running well. If the script doesn't return an OK, Pingdom also tells you that there's something wrong with your site.

I hope you've solved your issue @miguelitomola :)
