Status Pages

Learn how to create and manage status pages for your services

Status pages are the core of CheckStatus. They provide a public-facing page where your customers can see the current health of your services and stay informed about any incidents or maintenance.

What is a Status Page?

A status page is a dedicated web page that displays:

  • The current operational status of your services
  • Active incidents and their updates
  • Scheduled maintenance windows
  • Historical incident data
  • Component uptime metrics

Your customers can visit your status page anytime to check if your service is experiencing issues, without needing to contact support.

Status Page Example

Creating a Status Page

After signing in, you'll land on your dashboard.

New Account (No Status Pages Yet)

If you haven't created any status pages yet, you'll see a "No Status Pages Yet" banner on your dashboard:

  1. Click the Create Your First Status Page button on the banner
  2. The Create New Status Page Wizard will guide you through the setup

Existing Account (Adding Another Status Page)

If you already have status pages and want to add another:

  1. Click Status Pages in the sidebar
  2. Click Create Status Page

Complete the Wizard

The wizard walks you through configuring your status page:

  1. Status Page - Set your page name, subdomain, and basic settings
  2. Components - Choose a Quick Start Template or add your own services to monitor
  3. Notifications - Configure how subscribers receive alerts
  4. Branding - Upload your logo, set colors, and customize appearance

Click Create Status Page when you're done.

Your status page is now live and accessible at your subdomain (e.g., yourcompany.checkstatus.io).

Page Visibility

Status Page Activation

  • Active Status Page: Control whether this status page is active and visible to your users

Accessing Your Public Status Page

Once created, your status page is immediately accessible at your subdomain URL. For example, if your subdomain is "acme", your status page will be available at:

https://acme.checkstatus.io

You can also access your status page by clicking the View Page button from your dashboard or the View Status Page link in the sidebar.

Status Page Limits by Plan

The number of status pages you can create depends on your plan:

Plan Status Pages
Free 1
Starter 1
Growth 3
Pro 10

Overall Status

Your status page displays an overall status based on the health of all your components:

Overall Status Condition
All Systems Operational All components are operational
Degraded Performance One or more components have degraded performance
Partial System Outage One or more components have a partial outage
Major System Outage One or more components have a major outage
Under Maintenance One or more components are under maintenance

The overall status is automatically calculated based on the worst status among your components.

Managing Multiple Status Pages

If your plan allows multiple status pages, you can create separate pages for:

  • Different products or services
  • Different regions or environments
  • Internal vs. external status pages
  • Different customer segments

To switch between status pages, use the status page selector in the top menu.

What's Displayed on Your Status Page

Your public status page shows:

  1. Header: Your logo, company name, and status summary
  2. Components: Current status of each component with uptime metrics
  3. Active Incidents: Any ongoing incidents with their latest updates
  4. Scheduled Maintenance: Upcoming and in-progress maintenance windows
  5. Incident History: Past incidents from the last 3 months (or more, depending on your plan)
  6. Subscribe Button: Allows visitors to subscribe to email notifications

Custom Domains

Coming Soon: Custom domain support is on our roadmap. Soon you'll be able to use your own domain (e.g., status.yourcompany.com) instead of the default CheckStatus subdomain.
