FAQ
How hard is switching from UptimeRobot?
A monitor takes less than a minute to set up (name, URL, interval). The three free monitors are enough for a real test; for modest lists you will not miss an import tool.
Does Clesk Uptime check from multiple regions?
Checks run from a German data center, deliberately, so monitoring data stays in Germany. A second European probe location is planned.
Is €79 really the final price?
Yes. All prices include 19% German VAT. There are no hidden extras; additional monitors come in transparent blocks of ten.
