This is totally depends upon your requirement (how you want to keep tracking of your server connectivity).

If you want continuous tracking the connectivity then a seperate exe is suffieicient by using the PING class
else while you call your API or any mode of connectivity related to your hosting provider then you can trigger the email part (if connectivity fails)

Hope you undertood well.

I strongly recommend to either create a singleton class or static class for sending emails, so that it can be triggered from any where.
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;

public static void Email(string htmlString) {
    try {
        MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
        message.From = new MailAddress("FromMailAddress");
        message.To.Add(new MailAddress("ToMailAddress"));
        message.Subject = "Test";
        message.IsBodyHtml = true; //to make message body as html
        message.Body = htmlString;
        smtp.Port = 587;
        smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; //for gmail host
        smtp.EnableSsl = true;
        smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
        smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("FromMailAddress", "password");
        smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
        smtp.Send(message);
    } catch (Exception) {}
}

You can just call your email function when your any function is not able to interact with API or you can use PING to the hosted server, if you are not able to get response for x seconds/minutes then send the mail.

For sending email to your organization, there is no need to require any such huge PS or script, use the SMTPClient and MailMessage class to perform the requirement.

Good Luck
