FAQ about PRTG Hosted Monitor

Find answers to the most common questions about our cloud-hosted product

What are the system requirements for PRTG Hosted Monitor?

As PRTG Hosted Monitor is hosted in the cloud, you can simply access it via your web browser on any device and you don't need any additional hardware or software.

To gather monitoring data from devices and systems inside your network that are not publicly reachable, you need to install a remote probe in your environment.

This requires a simple PC or server that runs Windows 7 or later in your network. For detailed hardware requirements for remote probes, please refer to our system reqirements page.

What are the upper limits on one PRTG Hosted Monitor instance?

We offer up to 10,000 sensors on PRTG Hosted Monitor instances.

If you need more than one instance, you can create an additional one at any time.

Where is my PRTG Hosted Monitor instance located?

During the quick start process of your new instance, PRTG Hosted Monitor selects the location nearest to you from our available regions list:

  • USA (East and West)
  • Montreal
  • Dublin
  • London
  • Paris
  • Frankfurt
  • Stockholm
  • Singapore
  • Sydney

If you need to change that later, contact us at service@paessler.com. As this includes a switch of your instance and configuration, your instance will not be reachable during the time the switch is made.

All PRTG Hosted Monitor instances are provided with the support of AWS services and solutions.

Can I purchase PRTG Hosted Monitor for 12 months at a time?

Yes, you can purchase PRTG Hosted Monitor as an annual subscription.

How does billing work for PRTG Hosted Monitor?

You have the choice. We offer one year, three year and five year plans.

PRTG Hosted Monitor is pre-billed based on the pricing plan that you choose. If you subscribe to a paid plan, you have the choice between credit card payment and purchase on account (bank transfer payment). With both options the amount is charged up front and you can use PRTG Hosted Monitor for the selected plan period. You can switch plans at any time. The balance on your account will be credited towards the new price. For example, if you switch plans during a one year plan, you will be billed for the remaining plan period in pro-rata for the higher plan (upgrade) and you will receive credit for the not used period of your current plan. At your next renewal you will be charged the full amount of the higher plan.

If you would like to plan ahead, our multi-year subscriptions are the way to go for you. You pay upfront for a three or five years and besides credit card as payment method, you can also request Purchase on Account.

What’s the difference between PRTG Hosted Monitor and PRTG Network Monitor?

PRTG Hosted Monitor is offered as a service by Paessler and runs in the cloud. You don't need a PRTG core server installation inside your network because we take over the hosting for you.

With PRTG Network Monitor, you integrate the PRTG core server directly into your network. Please see the following table from our PRTG Manual for the most important differences:

How many locations can I monitor with PRTG Hosted Monitor?

You can connect remote probes from different locations to PRTG Hosted Monitor: the limit is your total number of sensors.

What about high availability with PRTG Hosted Monitor?

Since all the necessary services for PRTG Hosted Monitor run on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, no additional high availability is required. Encrypted backups are created hourly within the AWS cloud. Should an instance crash, we simply restart your instance for you and automatically roll out the latest backup that's not older than one hour maximum.
