Unable to find https://dev68004.service-now.com/ URL

Hello,

I work with ServiceNow and use the ticketing system and want to learn more. So, I am taking the ServiceNow Certified Administration for Beginners with Instructor Syed Raza. Trying to follow along with what is being instructed. Mr. Syed is instructing on how to Create the Madrid ServiceNow Instance and it is not recognizing the URL "https://dev68004.service-now.com/ ". Is this site still active or do I need to build it or request access? 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @MillardG if that url belongs to your instructor then please ask for the credentials. If not you can get yournown instance by regestring your one of the mail id

Thanks Prasanna_Patil, So would I just be able to use whatever instance is given me and build on that? Being a newbie, I would like to learn the correct way.

Hi @MillardG i recommend to use your own instance. Itsnone of the best option servicenow has given

Hi @MillardG 

Consider those steps 

If you’re following a course or want to practice using ServiceNow, you can get your own personal instance for free. Here’s how:

Step-by-Step: Requesting a Developer Instance

1. Go to the ServiceNow Developer Site
   Visit: https://developer.servicenow.com
2. Sign In or Create an Account
   
• If you already have an account, just log in.
• If you don’t, click “Register” and follow the steps to create one (it’s free)
3. Access the Instance Manager
   
• After logging in, click your profile icon at the top right corner.
• Then go to “Manage > Instance” from the dropdown menu.
4. Request a New Instance
   
• Click on “Request Instance”.
• Choose the latest version available (e.g., “Washington”, “Utah”, etc.).
• Click “Request” and wait a few moments while the instance is being created.
5. Access Your Instance
   
• Once ready, you’ll see your new instance URL, like https://dev12345.service-now.com.
• Click it to open your instance.
• Your admin credentials will be provided on the same screen.
6. Log In to Your Instance
   
• Use the username and password shown (usually admin and a temporary password).
• Change your password upon first login if required.
