Free Status Page – Hosted, Branded & Powered by Real Monitoring

What is a Status Page?

A status page is a public web page that shows the real-time health of your services — uptime, outages, incidents, and maintenance — so customers can check for themselves instead of opening support tickets. When something breaks, your status page is the single place where users find honest, up-to-date answers.

Why Your Business Needs a Public Status Page

During an outage, every minute without communication costs trust. A public status page:

• Cuts duplicate support tickets — users check the page before writing in
• Builds trust through transparency, even when things go wrong
• Gives your team one official channel for incident communication
• Documents your reliability track record with real uptime history
• Keeps subscribers informed automatically by email or RSS

Status Pages Powered by Real Monitoring — Not Manual Toggles

Many status page tools rely on a human remembering to flip a switch during an outage. Ours is wired directly into uptime monitoring and API monitoring: every uptime bar, percentage, and region breakdown on the page is computed from real checks that run every 60 seconds from multiple regions.

The numbers are honest by design: uptime is weighted by actual check volume, latency averages only include successful checks, and declared incidents never repaint the measured data — they appear as separate markers on the timeline.

Automatic Incident Communication

When monitoring confirms an outage, your status page reacts without you touching anything:

1. The page banner and affected component switch state automatically
2. An incident entry opens with a clear, human-readable message
3. If the outage lasts more than 5 minutes, subscribers get an email — short blips never spam anyone
4. When your service recovers, the incident resolves itself and subscribers are notified

You can also post incidents manually with full lifecycle timelines — investigating, identified, monitoring, resolved — scope them to the components they affect, and announce scheduled maintenance in its own calm blue styling.

Fully Customizable Appearance

Your status page should look like your product, not ours. Every visual aspect of the page is configurable from the built-in editor — with a live preview while you design:

• Logo, favicon, and cover banner image
• Brand accent color, page background, and per-state uptime bar colors
• Light, dark, or auto mode following the visitor's system
• Custom CSS for fine-grained control over stable styling hooks
• Your own header and footer markup — or hide the built-in header entirely

Your Custom Domain, Automatic TLS

Serve your status page from your own subdomain — like status.yourcompany.com — with a single CNAME record. TLS certificates are issued and renewed automatically, and your default hosted URL keeps working alongside it.

Impersonation-Proof by Design

Anyone can publish a page that claims to be a company's status. Our status pages prove who runs them:

• Verified ownership: publishing requires DNS proof that you own the domain the page represents
• Public provenance: every page footer states "Operated by the verified owner of your-domain.com"
• Third-party labels: components monitoring services you haven't verified are clearly marked

A fake brand page exposes itself — and your real one carries cryptographic proof.

API Status Pages with Latency Metrics

API components show more than up/down: visitors see per-region response times and a 14-day latency chart, so "is it slow from Europe?" has a public answer. Latency thresholds come from your own monitor configuration — the status page never re-judges your checks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a status page?

A status page is a public web page that displays the real-time operational status of your services — uptime, incidents, and maintenance — so customers always know what's working and what's being fixed.

Is the status page free?

Yes. Status pages are included with your NsLookup.io monitoring account — create monitors, attach them to a page, and publish.

Can I use my own domain for the status page?

Yes. Point a CNAME like status.yourcompany.com at our hosting target and a TLS certificate is issued automatically. Your default hosted URL keeps working too.

Do visitors need an account to view my status page?

No. Status pages are fully public — anyone can view them, subscribe by email, or follow the RSS feed.

Where does the uptime data come from?

From your own uptime checks and API monitors, probed every 60 seconds from multiple regions. The page shows a 14-day rolling window with per-region breakdowns.

What happens when my service goes down?

The banner, uptime bars, and component status react automatically. With automatic incidents enabled, a confirmed outage opens an incident entry with a clear message, emails subscribers if it lasts over 5 minutes, and resolves itself when your service recovers.

Can someone publish a fake status page for my brand?

Publishing requires DNS-verified domain ownership, every page publicly names the verified domain of its operator, and components monitoring unverified services are labeled third-party — impersonation self-discloses.

How many status pages can I create?

Unlimited. Create a separate status page per product, per brand, or per client — each with its own components, design, subscribers, and custom domain.

Is there a limit on email subscribers?

No. Unlimited visitors can subscribe to each of your status pages, and every confirmed subscriber receives incident and resolution emails at no cost.

How is this different from uptime monitoring?

Uptime monitoring watches your services and alerts you; a status page communicates that health to your customers. Ours are two sides of the same system — the page is powered by the same checks that page you.

Can I show SSL or DNS health on my status page?

Status pages display uptime and API monitors today. SSL and DNS monitoring run alongside them in the same account and alert you directly.
