Real-time uptime monitoring
Create your account, add your first endpoint, and start receiving alerts within three minutes. No credit card required.
Step 1 — Create your PingSled account
PingSled gives every new user a free tier that includes up to five monitored endpoints, 60-second check intervals, and email notifications. Upgrading later is a single click.
1. Visit the sign-up page
Go to app.pingsled.com/register and enter your work email. We send a six-digit verification code to confirm ownership — no password to remember on day one.
2. Verify and set your workspace name
After confirming your email, you'll land on the workspace setup screen. Name it something recognizable like "Acme Corp — Production" or "DevOps Team". You can rename it later in Settings.
3. Invite teammates (optional)
Use the Team & Access panel to send invite links. Each invited member gets their own login. Free accounts support up to three seats; paid plans scale to unlimited collaborators.
Step 2 — Add your first endpoint
Once your workspace is ready, the dashboard prompts you to add a check. Here's exactly what to choose for your first target.
Choose a check type
PingSled supports HTTP(S) status checks, TCP port probes, DNS resolution tests, and SSL certificate expiry monitors. For most teams, start with an HTTPS status check — it returns HTTP codes, response times, and body-match validation in a single probe.
Configure the target
Enter your endpoint URL, e.g. https://api.example.com/health. Set the check interval to 60 seconds on the free plan. Add a body-match rule like {"status":"ok"} if your health endpoint returns JSON. Choose at least one monitoring region — Frankfurt and São Paulo are good defaults for global coverage.
Set up notifications
Go to Alerts & Channels and add your email as the primary notification target. For faster response, connect a Slack webhook or PagerDuty integration. Configure the alert rule to fire after 2 consecutive failures to avoid false positives from brief network blips.
