good question, it's sometimes more important to know what services are down, since you may not remember what that hostname actually does (or it could have loads of services on it that you may not be able to remember everything that isn't working).

I would also like to consider doing this actually. How should I got about this?

If I don't put in a check command in the host definition, will I continue to receive service down notifications and not host down notifications?

possible? Does Nagios already do that?
    

No. If you need this, you probably don't want a host check.
