If you search Edwins last posts, he posted a tool which does exactly that. I can't remember the topic but he's not posted a lot since then :/

Edit: Alternatively a quick and dirty method, if you know php and can run crons on your hosting, its quite a simple script, curl a copy in, strpos a specific bit, store in a database then run the cron daily (or however often) to compare the curl version to the stored version, fire an email when they don't match.

Hi mate. Just a webpage? Or do you mean an entire website, or also dns, whois etc changes? Quite a difference =)

This works really well and is free. You can monitor a whole page or select part of the HTML to monitor:

Thanks for the replies,

Just had a quick look at that Grant and it looks pretty much spot on for what I need.
