Status pages
Custom domains
Serve your status page from status.yourcompany.com with automatic TLS.
Every status page gets a *.statuscheck.io subdomain. Paid plans can serve it from a domain you own, usually status.yourcompany.com.
Set up
Section titled “Set up”-
Open the status page’s Settings → Domain.
-
Enter the domain, for example
status.acme.com. -
At your DNS provider, add a
CNAMErecord:status.acme.com. CNAME pages.statuscheck.io. -
Back in StatusCheck, click Verify. Verification usually completes within a few minutes of the DNS change propagating.
TLS certificates are issued automatically and renewed before they expire. There is nothing to upload.
Host your status page somewhere else
Section titled “Host your status page somewhere else”Because outages sometimes take your own DNS or your main domain down with them, keep the status page’s domain on a different zone or provider from your product where you can: acme-status.com, or a subdomain delegated to a second DNS provider. StatusCheck itself runs on infrastructure separate from any customer’s, but a CNAME is only as available as the zone that holds it.
Apex domains
Section titled “Apex domains”CNAME records can’t sit at the apex of a zone (acme.com). Use a subdomain, or a provider that supports ALIAS/ANAME/CNAME-flattening at the apex.
Removing a domain
Section titled “Removing a domain”Remove the domain in settings first, then delete the DNS record. The *.statuscheck.io subdomain keeps working throughout.
