Choosing which sites appear

A status page shows the sites you choose, in the order you choose, each with its live status.

Plan availability

Status pages is available on Pro and Business. See the plan comparison.

Attaching your sites

On a status page's edit screen, you choose which of your team's sites appear. You can attach as many or as few as you like — a page can group everything your customers care about, or focus on a single product.

Only sites that belong to your team can be added. Each site's status updates automatically from its live checks, so once a site is on the page there's nothing to keep in sync.

Setting the order

The order you arrange your sites in is the order they appear on the public page. Put the things customers ask about most at the top, and group related sites together so the page reads the way you'd explain it — and visitors find what they're looking for without scrolling.

Display names

By default, each site appears by its domain — the address DomainDash checks. That's clear and unambiguous, but it isn't always how you'd describe a service to a customer.

So every site on the page can have an optional display name. Set one and visitors see that friendly label (like "Customer dashboard" or "API"); leave it blank and the site shows by its domain. The display name only changes what your customers read on the public page — it doesn't rename the site anywhere else.

How the overall status is decided

A status page has a single overall verdict at the top, and it's always the worst status wins:

• If any attached site is Down, the page reads Down.
• If any site is responding slowly (and none are Down), the page reads responding slowly.
• Only when every site is Healthy does the whole page read Healthy.

This means the headline can never look calmer than reality. If even one site is in trouble, the page says so — your customers always get an honest read, and you never have to worry about the page glossing over a problem. (On the public page, "responding slowly" is the visitor-facing wording for a site that needs attention — see what visitors see.)

A page with no sites attached still renders, and reads as Healthy until you add something to it.
