The status at the top of this page is Linode's own, read from its public status page every couple of minutes. It shows what Linode's team has confirmed. For an independent check of whether linode.com answers right now, use the live check on the is-it-down page. ### Where is Linode's official status page? Linode publishes its status at https://status.linode.com. This page shows the same data with the recent incident history in one place, and links each incident to Linode's own write-up. ### Why does Linode not work for me when its status says operational? A status page lists the incidents a vendor has confirmed, and confirmation takes time: problems often reach users minutes before they reach the status page, and some partial or regional problems never appear on it. Your own network, account or region can also be the cause. ### How can I get alerted when Linode has an incident? Add an External Status Page monitor in Uptimely pointed at https://status.linode.com. It reads the page on a schedule and alerts your team by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when Linode reports a problem, beside the monitors for your own services.
