Monitoring server uptime
Most people stop here forgetting about one small but very important detail. If you are really serious about your website, or if your website is serious in nature (it's a business website), you should keep an eye on your host at all times. It's not enough to verify daily if your website is up. To be really certain that your website is up most of the time, you should monitor server uptime in a serious manner. That way you can not only claim compensation if the host does not meet the guaranteed uptime (in case the hosting company had such a guarantee in place) but you'll know when the website is down.

Server load - just a number?
Well, yes, basically the server load is a number. This number is usually under the x.xx format and can have values starting from 0.00. It expresses how may processes are waiting in the queue to access the processor(s). Of course, this is calculated for a certain period of time and of course, the smaller the number, the better. A high number is often associated with a decrease in the performance of the server.
