Free status page software

Uptimely includes a free, hosted status page on every plan, including Free. It shows the live state of the monitors you put on it, so your users can see whether something is down before they email you.

A status page is only useful if it is true. Each component on an Uptimely status page is a monitor, so the page shows the result of real checks instead of a status somebody has to remember to change. When a check fails, the component says so the next time the page loads, and incidents that affect those monitors appear on the page with the updates you post.

The page gets its own address, and you can move it to a subdomain you own, such as status.yourcompany.com, with a CNAME record. It can be public, or private behind a shared password or individual viewer logins.

What you get

  • Live component status. Each component is a monitor. A group shows the worst status of anything inside it, so a group with one component down never reads as fine.
  • Uptime history. Daily uptime bars for up to 90 days per component. Visitors can narrow the view to 7 or 30 days, but never past the window you chose to publish.
  • Incidents, maintenance and announcements. Incidents that affect the page's monitors show up with their updates, and scheduled maintenance and announcements each get their own page.
  • Email and Slack subscribers. Turn on subscriptions and visitors can follow the page by email or from a Slack channel. They are notified about incidents, scheduled maintenance and announcements.
  • RSS feed and status badge. Public pages publish an RSS feed of the last 90 days of incidents and an SVG status badge you can put in a README or a site footer.
  • Your own subdomain. Serve the page from a subdomain you own with a CNAME record. Custom domains work on the Free plan too.
  • Private pages. Keep a page for customers or your own team, behind one shared password or individual viewer logins.
  • Your branding. Upload a logo, a cover image and a favicon, and optionally show a response-time chart under a component.

How it works

  1. Create a monitor for each thing your users depend on: your website, your API, a nightly job.
  2. Create a status page and add those monitors to it as components. Put them in groups if you have many.
  3. Choose public or private, add your logo, and point a subdomain at the page if you want your own address.
  4. Share the link. Component status comes from your monitors, and you post incident updates from the dashboard.

Questions

Is the status page really free?

Yes. The Free plan includes 1 status page with no time limit and no credit card, and it can use your own subdomain. Pro ($29 a month, with a 14-day free trial) removes the limit on status pages and monitors.

Can a status page be private?

Yes. A private page asks for a shared password, or for the visitor's own viewer login, before it shows anything. The RSS feed and the status badge are only published for public pages.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, on a subdomain such as status.example.com. You add a CNAME record, plus a TXT record if Uptimely asks you to prove you own the domain, and Uptimely serves the page there. A bare domain like example.com cannot carry a CNAME record, so Uptimely asks for a subdomain instead.

How do visitors subscribe to updates?

Turn on email or Slack subscriptions in the page's settings, and visitors can subscribe from the page itself. Subscribers are notified about incidents, scheduled maintenance and announcements.

Do I have to change the status by hand?

No. Every component is a monitor, so its status comes from real checks. What you write yourself are the incident updates, because only you know what happened and when it will be fixed.

Put a status page online on the Free plan. No credit card needed.
