Answer 1

You can monitor the server using monitoring tools such as icinga2, nagios. Normally in icinga2 there is an email and sms notification which can be made possible by configuration. If you want something lighter you can install cacti and have it monitor the server through cacti there are plugins that can be added to notify users through sms and email if anything happens to the server.
