Use this guide to set up Nightscout with managed hosting, from account creation to the first confirmed reading. Start by checking that your exact source and phone app are supported.

Create your Nightscout Pro account

  1. Open Create your account and enter an email address you can access.
  2. Choose a unique account password that meets the requirements shown on the form.
  3. Review the price, currency, billing period and terms shown in checkout before confirming payment once. Compare the hosting plans first if needed.

If payment was taken but setup is incomplete, contact support before buying another subscription.

Create and connect your Nightscout site

  1. Follow the site setup form to choose your site name, available hosting region, API Secret and glucose display units.
  2. Open the generated site link and keep its complete address, including any region component. Read the Nightscout URL guide.
  3. Use the current Pro account setup guides to select your exact source and app.
  4. Check that a fresh source reading appears in Nightscout with the expected value and timestamp.

For common routes, start with Dexcom Share, LibreLinkUp, Medtronic CareLink or xDrip+ upload. Creating the site and connecting the glucose source are separate steps.

Sign in and manage your site

Sign in at my.nightscoutpro.com. This account manages your hosted sites and subscriptions; it is separate from authentication within your Nightscout site.

Open Site Settings for your site connection and PRO CONNECT for supported cloud sources. Your Pro account password and Nightscout API Secret are separate credentials.

Manage an existing subscription

Open Manage Billing in your account and review the confirmation and effective date before making a change. Your existing subscription keeps its price while its billing frequency stays the same. Changing frequency or starting a new subscription after cancellation uses current prices.

If you subscribed through the original WordPress website, use existing customer account help to reach the correct billing account.

If you cannot sign in

Use password reset for your Pro account. Check your spam folder if the email does not arrive. If a reset has already failed, tell support what happened instead of creating another account or subscription.

Get setup help

Contact [email protected] with the setup step, source app and error message. Remove passwords, API secrets and health readings from screenshots. Check device and connection compatibility before buying extra hardware.
