Status pages

Creating a status page ​

A status page is a public page that tells your customers, in plain language, how your sites are doing.

Plan availability

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

What a status page is ​

A status page is a page you can share with your customers (at a friendly DomainDash URL, or your own domain) that shows the live status of the sites you choose. When something's wrong, it gives them one place to look instead of emailing you.

Each page pulls its status from your live checks, so you never update it by hand. You decide which sites appear, how they're named, and how the page is branded.

Creating a page ​

From your team's status pages, choose to create a new page. You'll set a few things up front:

  • Name — what you call the page internally. The heading your customers see at the top is drawn from your team or brand name, so keep the page name short and recognisable for your own reference, like your company or product name.
  • URL — the address your page lives at. By default this is a friendly slug on a .status.{your domain} address. You can pick your own slug (lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes), or leave it and we'll generate a short, unguessable one for you. On the Business plan you can also point your own domain at the page.
  • Accent colour — the brand colour that drives the page's look. See branding for what it affects.

You can also choose which sites appear right away. See choosing which sites appear.

Once the page is created, you land on its edit screen. That's where the logo, icon, custom domain, and publishing all live, because each of those needs the page to exist first.

Draft vs published ​

Every status page starts as a draft. Anyone with the link can open a draft, but it isn't published yet:

  • It shows a preview banner so you know you're looking at the unpublished version.
  • It's hidden from search engines.
  • It doesn't offer visitors the subscribe option.

When you're happy with how it looks, publish it. Publishing is a single click. From then on, the page is live at its public URL for anyone to visit.

You can unpublish at any time, which turns the page back into a draft. Its link still opens for anyone who has it, with the preview banner and hidden from search engines. The page stops accepting new subscriptions and keeps its existing subscribers. We ask you to confirm first, and you can republish whenever you like.

Editing a page ​

Open any status page to edit it. From the edit screen you can change the name, URL, accent colour, attached sites, and branding, and connect or remove a custom domain. Changes to the page's details are saved together from the save bar; branding uploads and publishing apply on their own as you make them.

Deleting a page ​

If you no longer need a page, you can delete it from the danger zone on its edit screen. Deleting takes its public URL offline immediately and can't be undone, so we confirm before doing it.

How many pages you can have ​

The number of status pages you can create depends on your plan. Pro and the trial include one status page, and Business is unlimited. For everything else each plan includes, see plans and pricing.

Who can manage status pages ​

Creating, editing, publishing, and deleting status pages is limited to team owners and admins. Members can see your pages but can't change them.

Frequently asked questions ​

How many status pages can I have? ​

It depends on your plan. Pro and the trial include one status page, and Business is unlimited.

Who can create and edit status pages? ​

Only team owners and admins can create, edit, publish, or delete status pages. Members can view them but can't make changes.

What's the difference between a draft and a published page? ​

Anyone with the link can open a draft, but it shows a preview banner, is hidden from search engines, and doesn't offer visitors the subscribe option. A published page is live at its public URL for anyone to see. You can unpublish at any time, which turns the page back into a draft. Its link still opens for anyone who has it.
