We have a webserver on a local pc and this webserver is frequently not
turned on.

When someone clicks on link (from hosted site) to MyWebServer.com and it is
not turned on they get This page cannot be displayed.



is there a way to test the link MyWebServer.com and if is on then go to
MyWebServer.com
else
go to myServerIsoffline.htm page
 
Then what good is it doing your site visitors?

You need to always have the server up and running if it is connected to the internet.

You would need to ping the server via some server-side scripting on the live/remote server and then
based on the response determine what to do with the user.
