Zabbix Website monitoring setup
I am running Zabbix 1.8.3. I am monitoring several servers and some SNMP devices with no issues. I am trying to figure out how to monitor websites. It seems very different from version 1.8.2. I can attach a website to an exisiting host such as a server, but I want the website to be independent of any servers. Can someone tell me how to monitor a website by itself?
Thanks

When I say host, I am talking about a Windows Server at a specific location beining monitored on port 10050 or similar. When I say website, I am talking about a webpage that is hosted somewhere, usually by a third party and I want to monitor port 80. I added Yahoo as a test site and it never shows up as being monitored so I dont know if I am doing something wrong. What I am trying to accomplish is I want to have Zabbix monitor the website and ensure that it stays up. I included a screen shot of my yahoo test. 
You define a host (not a host that can be connected on port 80 as a zabbix-server.)
Then you need to add an application (say services) and then you can add an item
(say simple check, net.tcp.service[http]), check out the zabbix server template for an example.

are hosts on a fixed address and is the website identified by DNS?
if so add a host wich has a DNS name of the website, that should follow the DNS records.
