Your First Check in 2 Minutes

1. Create an Account

Sign up for free at app.live24h.eu . No credit card required.

2. Create Your First Check

After logging in, click “New Check” and select the check type:

  • HTTP(S): For websites and APIs – including keyword and JSONPath checks on API responses
  • SSL: Monitors validity and expiry of your certificates
  • TCP: For databases, mail servers and other TCP services
  • Ping: For the reachability of servers and network devices
  • DNS: Checks that your DNS records resolve correctly
  • Heartbeat: For cronjobs and background processes
  • Domain expiry: Warns you before your domain registration lapses

SEO checks are created separately in the SEO area: they check robots.txt, meta robots directives and the canonical URLs of your most important pages – see SEO monitoring .

Product prices are kept in view in the Price monitoring area. You create your product, enter the publicly accessible product pages you compare yourself with, review the detected values in the preview and decide when a notification is sent. Pages are retrieved daily. This is included from the Pro plan; you will find an overview on the price monitoring feature page .

The easiest way to start is a plugin for your CMS or shop system . The plugin scans your website itself, suggests the right checks and creates them with a single click. In WordPress with WooCommerce, Shopware, Magento and PrestaShop your shop also reports its own product prices to price monitoring, so you do not have to set up your own product page as a comparison source.

3. Enter the URL

Enter the URL or hostname you want to monitor:

https://www.your-domain.com

4. Select an Interval

Choose how often live24h should check your service. The Free plan includes a 5-minute interval.

5. Configure Notifications

Specify how you want to be notified when a downtime occurs. The Free plan includes email notifications.

6. Done

Click “Create Check” – live24h starts monitoring immediately. You can see the status right away in your dashboard.
