Such communication helps them to know “it is or it is not only them when they experience issues reaching the sites\/servers”.<\/p>\n
Last update: 12th April 2021 (updated screenshots, introduced redesigned status pages<\/a>, customization options, custom domains CNAME DNS settings).<\/em><\/p>\n Content of this article:<\/p>\n This new feature helps to create such a public status page in seconds where the page will be displaying all the major details needed (uptime status and ratio for the last 24 hours, 7\/30\/90 days, announcements, and UP\/DOWN events).<\/p>\n With a PRO plan<\/strong><\/em>, your visitors can subscribe to updates<\/strong> and receive them via email.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> As a demo, check Uptime Robot’s status page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here are the steps to create it:<\/p>\n 1. Log in to your account at UptimeRobot.com<\/a> and click on “Status Pages<\/a>“.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2. click on “Add Status Page”.<\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Enter the name of your status page – this will be shown on your status page if you don’t add a logo.<\/p>\n 4. Upload your logo, enter a custom domain, or protect it with a password (optional).<\/p>\n 5. You can also hide our logo from your status page if using a PRO plan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 6. Add monitors to your status page – you can pick them or add all monitors. Click on the blue finish button and that’s it!<\/p>\n 7. Your status page will be public with a unique UptimeRobot.com URL (custom domain is optional).<\/p>\n You can use the status page on your own subdomain, for example, status.yourdomain.com.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Make sure your CNAME DNS<\/strong> record is set and resolving correctly to stats.uptimerobot.com<\/strong><\/em>. Please, contact your domain\/DNS provider if you don’t know how to set it.<\/p>\n We are using Lets\u2019 Encrypt and ZeroSSL to issue SSL certificates for your custom domain. If you already have CAA records in place, you need to add the following CAA records to your DNS settings:<\/p>\n example.com<\/a>. IN CAA 0 issue “letsencrypt.org<\/a>” These records authorize Let’s Encrypt and ZeroSSL to issue certificates for your domain. If you do not have any existing CAA records, you may skip this part.<\/p>\n You can check if the CNAME DNS record is resolving already using available free tools like this from Google Admin Toolbox<\/a>.<\/p>\n It might take up to 24 hours for your custom domain status page to become active. It will be protected with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There are some additional simple steps when setting up a CNAME DNS record using the Cloudflare service.<\/p>\n You’ll find all the details on how to set up the UptimeRobot custom domain status page using Cloudflare in our blog post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The status page can be consumed with the unique link generated or under a custom domain<\/strong> by setting up a CNAME DNS record that points to stats.uptimerobot.com.<\/p>\n Change the layout<\/strong>, theme<\/strong>, or density<\/strong> of your status page. You can also upload your own logo<\/strong> and favicon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n With a PRO plan<\/strong><\/em>, you can remove the UptimeRobot logo<\/strong>, change the colors<\/strong> or font<\/strong> of your status page and choose from different features<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If using a PRO plan<\/strong>, you can enable this feature in your settings. Your subscribed visitors will receive announcements via emails.<\/p>\n Note: There are no limits on the number of subscribers and it’s not possible to add, remove or view them manually (they can unsubscribe from every announcement email).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can enable this feature under Status Pages > Announcements.<\/b> You can also preview the email there. Please, make sure you’re using a future date.<\/strong><\/p>\n Emails will be sent with a 5-minute delay, so you can still make any changes.<\/p>\n After you enable it, a subscribe button will appear in the top right corner of your status page:<\/p>\n This is how the email will look like:<\/p>\n![\"UptimeRobot\"](\"https:\/\/uptimerobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/twenty-twenty-child\/assets\/images\/img-intext-sidebar.png\")
