Actually this is wrong. If the host is down the service will not send a notification, but by default it will still perform the check.

@shubham, In addition to what Scott said, I'd like to point out that if you're still seeing the behavior where services would stop getting checked when the host is down, I recommend checking the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file and making sure that this option is set to 0.
