Statuscake.com if you just need a simple up/down monitor. Source: about 2 years ago
I've had a great time with statuscake.com for my personal and friends sites. They've even improved custom status pages to include an automatically signed certificate too, so you can make a site like status.yourdomain.com... Test TCP connection, specific HTTP/HTTPS query etc. 5 minute intervals for free, more with paid plans. Source: about 2 years ago
I use statuscake.com for external stuff and nagios for internal. PRTG is good too. Source: over 2 years ago
I use statuscake.com for all my personal / friend sites. There seems to be no limit to number of sites to monitor for basic 5 minute intervals in the free account. Source: over 2 years ago

If you do a WHOIS lookup on the domain (usually at lookup.icann.org), then it should tell you the current registrant. There should be an email address or a way of contacting the current registrant. You may need to also go to the registrar where it's currently registered to contact them. But it's an ICANN requirement/rule that there MUST be a way to contact the current registrant through email or a form. Source: 12 months ago
Did you try doing a search on whois/lookup? Doing so, you will be able to see if your domain name is now handled by a different registrar. If that turns up no helpful results & the company you originally leased the domain name from was accredited by ICANN; it may be worthwhile to reach out on their support page. Source: 12 months ago
