Hosted Status Page — Live in 5 Minutes, Independent of Your Own Servers
StatusPage.me runs your status page and uptime monitors on infrastructure completely separate from yours — no servers to patch, no DNS to babysit, nothing to keep online yourself.

Hosted vs self-hosted — the honest comparison
Self-hosting a status page sounds like a good idea until you need it most: if the same outage that takes down your app also takes down the page explaining the outage, the page has failed at its one job. Hosting it independently is what makes "independent" actually true.
- Survives your outage. Completely separate infrastructure from your app or servers.
- Zero maintenance. No OS patches, no TLS renewals, no containers to babysit. We run 100% of the infrastructure.
- 4 monitoring regions built in. Checks run from multiple locations at once — no separate monitoring stack needed.
- Up in minutes. Create an account, add your services, and your page is live. No deployment pipeline.
- Predictable cost. From $15/month. No EC2 bills or surprise compute costs.
- Goes down with you. Same incident that hits your app can take the status page with it.
- Ongoing maintenance required. Security patches, dependency updates, TLS renewals, and upgrades are all on you.
- Single-location monitoring. Most self-hosted tools check from one location — false positives from regional network issues.
- Setup time. Provisioning, dependencies, SSL, and DNS can take hours.
- Hidden infrastructure costs. Server, bandwidth, backups, and your engineering time add up.
Everything your hosted status page needs
60 Uptime Monitoring
Monitor HTTP endpoints, APIs, and TCP services. Checks run every 60 from 4 regions.
Custom Domain
Host your status page at status.yourcompany.com. TLS certificate provisioned and renewed automatically.

Your logo, your colors, your CSS. White-label means no StatusPage.me badge — just your brand.
Incident Notifications
Reach subscribers via email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, SMS, and webhooks when incidents happen.
Private or Public
Make your status page public, or restrict it to your team with SSO, IP allowlisting, or a password.
Full REST API
Automate incident creation, monitor management, and status updates from your own deployment pipeline.
Why teams choose a hosted status page over building their own
A hosted status page is, functionally, a small piece of infrastructure with one job: tell customers what's happening during an incident, reliably, even when everything else is on fire. Running that yourself means it inherits every dependency your main application has — the same hosting provider, the same DNS, sometimes the same database. When those fail, the status page fails at the exact moment it matters most, which is the core argument for a hosted status page service in the first place.
Hosting it externally with a dedicated status page service removes that shared-fate problem. StatusPage.me runs on infrastructure that has nothing to do with your stack, so uptime monitoring keeps checking your services and the page keeps rendering incident updates regardless of what's broken on your end. It also removes the ongoing maintenance tax — TLS renewals, security patches, and DNS upkeep — that self-hosted tools like Cachet or Uptime Kuma put on your team indefinitely.
Self-hosting still makes sense in specific cases — strict data-residency requirements, an existing internal-tools team with spare capacity, or a status page that's purely internal and never needs to survive a public-facing outage. For everyone else, the operational cost of self-hosting usually outweighs the control it buys you.
