Checking External URLs

What's the canonically "proper" way to check an external website (that I don't control) within Nagios? WHat I've done historically has been to define a dummy "urlhost" that I then hang various check_http checks off of, but that seems wrong somehow.
In talking to other folks in #nagios on freenode, another approach is defining it as:
define host{
use web-server
host_name s3.amazonaws.com
hostgroups prod-URL
address s3.amazonaws.com
check_command check_http!-f follow
contact_groups admins-email
}
works, but then there's a warning thrown during pre-flight due to the lack of services affiliated with this "host."
What's the "correct" way to pull this off?
