To create a PRTG hosted by Paessler instance, open your web browser (Google Chrome 61 or later (recommended)) and go to https://my-prtg.com. This is the PRTG hosted by Paessler web portal.

Enter a domain name of your choice, such as myfirstdomain. The domain name can be anywhere from 4 and 60 characters long and is where you can reach your PRTG hosted by Paessler instance with your browser later. So if you enter myfirstdomain as the domain name here, your PRTG hosted by Paessler instance will be reachable under myfirstdomain.my-prtg.com. Click Start Free Trial Now to continue.

You can sign up with your Google+, Facebook, Windows, or Amazon account via single sign-on (Auth0). This account will then always be automatically used for login and will be connected to your PRTG hosted by Paessler account. Just click the respective button and follow the instructions there.

Alternatively, you can sign up via email by entering a valid Email address, a Password, and confirming it with Confirm Password. The password must meet the following requirements:

• at least 8 characters long

Congratulations, your PRTG hosted by Paessler instance is up and running! To open the device tree, click View Results or Devices in the main menu bar.

PRTG hosted by Paessler has automatically created a Hosted Probe that runs on the hosted PRTG instance. It shows several health values of the instance and you can instantly monitor all servers, services, and devices that are publicly available via the internet with this probe. See also section Architecture and User Interfaces—Probe(s).

A Paessler employee will guide you through the Smart Setup. In particular, you will install a remote probe, which is required for monitoring your LAN. We strongly recommend that you follow the instructions for best monitoring experience!
