No matter how clear the pricing and feature descriptions are, it\u2019s hard for a feature description to tell you if it can rise to every occasion your devops team will face. A free trial is an opportunity to connect with a service and test for your use cases. Not all free trials are created equal, some may restrict features while others restrict user seats. Monitor Your Site with Uptime.com and fully test all of the features allotted to the plan you choose, even at the free trial level.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on for 25 ways you can use our free trial to kick-start your monitoring.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-check-your-domain-health-with-monitor-entire-site\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Check your domain health with Monitor Entire Site<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing we recommend is to establish a baseline for your <a href=\"https:\/\/uptime.com\/domain-health\">domain health<\/a> with our Monitor Entire Site tool. This is the lightning speed route to get your <a href=\"https:\/\/uptime.com\/website-monitoring\">website monitoring<\/a> online. The tool can automatically create a series of basic checks that we find useful for any account; DNS checks, Blacklist &amp; Malware, HTTP(S), and SSL Certificate are a few of the checks generated. You can select all possible checks or pick and choose checks to add to your account.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-create-a-basic-http-s-check-with-additional-parameters\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Create a basic HTTP(S) check with additional parameters<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.uptime.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360001020389-HTTP-S-Check-Basics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HTTP(S) check<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tells you the status and response time for a single URL. Our checks also have optional parameters you can configure like checking for headers, basic auth functionality, and checking for strings to expect which you can use for handy tasks like verifying your Google Analytics tags.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-choose-your-probe-server-locations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Choose your probe server locations<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We currently provide monitoring from over 30 locations spread across 6 continents and growing. Customize the locations for your checks to tailor your monitoring to suit your user geography.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-check-out-our-run-test-feature\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.

Uptime.com has provisioned test servers for this purpose and included a <\/span><b>Run Test<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button for relevant check types.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-tag-your-checks\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.

Create a tag and use it as a label to categorize checks, an identifier to call checks with our REST API, a vehicle for bulk actions, or as a category to associate a group of relevant checks to SLA reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-try-our-bulk-updating-features\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Try our bulk updating features<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes it\u2019s convenient to set a maintenance window for a single check, or adjust it\u2019s SLA thresholds, and sometimes you need to make the same update to a large number of checks. Our bulk actions feature supports the setting of maintenance windows, timeout thresholds, check intervals, contacts, and more en masse.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-add-users\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.
