One year ago we launched what would become our most popular feature yet: a page you could publish with your name and logo that aggregated the status of all of your cloud vendors. We called it a “public dashboard” because it did not require a StatusGator account to view, and it published your StatusGator dashboard for your entire team. We’ve now renamed this feature a “status page” and made it even more accessible inside of StatusGator. Why the change? Read on.

While a public status page *does* foster transparency and trust with users, sometimes you just need to save face. And hey, you're a tech behemoth—you can get away with it.

Status pages are a valuable asset for any website or SaaS business – especially today when outages and downtime have never been more common and uptime expectations have never been higher. Whether your site is down or all systems are perfectly operational, hosted status pages provide external users and internal stakeholders with a single source of truth regarding uptime performance. When done well, status pages are elegant and custom-branded.

For more than 7 years, StatusGator has monitored the world’s status pages and aggregated the status of more than 1,000 cloud services into custom dashboards. With a quick glance, you can see the status of every service you depend on. But what if a website you depend on does not have a status page? What about internal tools, sites you host yourself, and other services without public status information?

A public status page conveys your service's health and availability to your internal and external users—fostering transparency and trust. We've launched a new status pages feature, adding support for custom domains and branding!

StatusGator’s Slack integration is one of our most popular features. Our users love getting real time notifictations of outages from all the cloud services they depend on. Plus, with a few quick clicks you can check the status of any service you monitor on StatusGator, using our /statuscheck slash command. Now, you can also get the status of all the services in your StatusGator dashboard with one quick command: /statuscheck list. This will list every service on your dashboard.

We all remember when Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram shut down in April of last year for a whole day. And while it was terrible for their company—it’s an educational moment for the rest of us to learn from. Facebook’s status page is self-hosted, and that puts their status pages at risk of the exact issue it’s designed to tell you about.
