Hosted status page setup

Create a status page built for real incidents

Publish service health, connect uptime monitoring, prepare incident updates, and let customers subscribe before the next outage turns into support noise.

Free plan available. No credit card required.

What you are creating

A public source of truth, not a blank page

A useful status page shows components customers recognize, current service state, scheduled maintenance, incident updates, and a way to subscribe for changes.

If you are evaluating the platform rather than setting one up, see the status page software overview or the hosted status page comparison.

Hosted status page showing service components, scheduled maintenance, and uptime history

Create the operating model in five steps

Keep setup simple, but do not skip the communication decisions.

1. Name components

List customer-visible services such as API, dashboard, authentication, or regions.

2. Choose status inputs

Connect uptime monitors where automation helps, or update manual components directly.

3. Prepare incidents

Define how degraded service and outages will be communicated to customers.

4. Enable subscriptions

Let users receive relevant incident and maintenance updates without polling.

5. Share the page

Use the hosted URL or configure a custom status domain for customer access.

Monitoring and manual updates both have a place

Monitoring can identify a failed endpoint and help initiate an incident. Operators still need to communicate scope, mitigation, and recovery in words customers understand.

For update practices, read how status page updates work. For active outage handling, see incident communication.

Practical launch checklist

  • Components match customer-facing services.
  • Checks avoid shallow CDN-only health signals.
  • Subscribers know where updates will arrive.
  • Maintenance has a planned communication path.

Creating a status page: common questions

Include customer-visible components, current service state, incident updates, scheduled maintenance, uptime history where useful, and a way for customers to subscribe to updates.

No. You can operate a manual status page, or connect uptime monitors so service health and incident workflows are informed by checks. The right choice depends on which services can be checked reliably.

Yes. Paid plans support custom domains with managed SSL, allowing customers to access the page from a URL such as status.yourcompany.com.
