class="inside-article"> <div class="entry-content" itemprop="text"> <p>Status pages are one of the best additions to your monitoring strategy because they can reduce the number of support tickets and improve overall efficiency. </p> <p>Let’s take a look at the types of status pages, their benefits, and how you can implement them with little effort. </p> <p><strong>Key takeaways</strong>:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>What benefits can status page bring you.</li> <li>What are the different types of status pages.</li> <li>How you can create your first status page for free forever. </li> <li>How you can utilize the use of status page to the maximum. </li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is a status page?</h2> <p>A status page is a dedicated webpage that shows the current health of your software, including any ongoing or past incidents.</p> <p>It serves as a communication tool for informing users about service disruptions, outages, or scheduled maintenance for websites or web apps. </p> <p>Essentially, it’s a transparency feature that many online companies use to keep their users informed about the status of their services.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 5 status page benefits</h2> <p><a href="https://uptimerobot.com/status-page/?utm_source=uptimerobot.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=status-pages-guide&utm_content=benefits">Status pages</a> help <strong>foster trust and set clear expectations regarding your service level agreements</strong> (SLAs).</p> <p>The key advantages of implementing a status page are<strong>:</strong></p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Boosting transparency and trust:</strong> Reassure your users of your commitment to high-quality service and full transparency.</li> <li><strong>Streamlining incident management:</strong> A status page centralizes your communication, allowing you to post updates about any incidents from a single location.</li> <li><strong>Bettering social media response:</strong> Status pages can easily be shared on social media, reaching a wide audience with little effort.</li> <li><strong>Automating incident reporting: </strong>Integration with monitoring platforms, such as Cronitor, allows for the automatic creation and resolution of incidents.</li> <li><strong>Reducing customer support queries: </strong>A well-maintained status page offers immediate answers to users experiencing service disruptions, cutting down on the volume of direct support requests.</li> </ol> <p>A status page is more than just a technical tool—it’s a strategic asset that boosts user experience, builds trust, and keeps communication clear, whether everything is running smoothly or facing challenges.</p> <p><strong>TIP</strong>: Create your first status page for FREE with a lifetime free plan from UptimeRobot.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div

class="wp-block-heading">The different types of status pages</h2> <p>Depending on the status page’s purpose, they can be broadly categorized into public and private status pages, as well as SLA-specific pages. Each type serves a unique audience and purpose. Here’s a quick overview:</p> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Type</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td><td><strong>Features</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Public</strong></td><td>Accessible to anyone with the link, designed for transparency with a broad user base.</td><td>Real-time updates, incident and maintenance schedules, custom domains (like status.uptimerobot.com).</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Private</strong></td><td>Restricted to specific users or teams within an organization for internal communication.</td><td>Password protection, tailored information for internal teams (development, support, execs), “noindex” option for search engines.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Public SLA</strong></td><td>Shares service level metrics like uptime and response times with customers/stakeholders.</td><td>Displays current performance, historical data, transparent commitment to service quality.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Private SLA</strong></td><td>Targets internal audiences or specific clients for detailed service performance metrics.</td><td>Restricted access, detailed reports for specific teams/clients, sensitive data protection.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to create your first status page</h2> <p>Creating your first status page can take only a few minutes and cost you nothing. Sounds like it’s worth it, for the value it can bring you, right?</p> <p>Let us help you create your first status page with a lifetime free account from UptimeRobot.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Creating a status page with UptimeRobot</h3> <p>The whole process will take you just a few clicks and all you need is an account registered with only your email address.</p> <p>Here’s a straightforward guide to setting up a status page using UptimeRobot:</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Step 1: Access your dashboard</h4> <p><a href="https://uptimerobot.com/signUp?utm_source=uptimerobot.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=status-pages-guide&utm_content=uptimerobot">Log into</a> your UptimeRobot account and choose “Status Pages” within the left navigation menu.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Step 2: Create a status page</h4> <p>Select the “Create Status page” blue button to begin crafting your new status page.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Step 3: Add all details</h4> <p>Start with the friendly name of your status page – this is how the status page will be shown in your dashboard.</p> <p>Add a custom domain name if you want, choose the layout density, add a password if needed, and change the “Robots meta tag” option if you don’t want your status page to be indexed.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcu3bvJR62ec1i67qOTeOX_SLQ3ciCbIOsfckg4MImI9sFd01daFpwt_VseLad4-Wy3TMoMBtfnSLOwysvPV71tp2zxg7zDswL3EePIWrZCo54533xgeYxYTHovGO48-KMymGgB7Q?key=K4yOdNJZaU7TmTmXQxms9JvZ" alt=""/></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Step 4: Add monitors</h4> <p>Click on the blue button “Next step: Add monitors” below.</p> <p>You can add your monitors one by one and search for them by name or URL, or you can simply add all your monitors with the “+ Add all 3 monitors” blue button in the middle.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcYI2AZ7AiNsvbjgRs4hV5QwBGt6dovL1W2afooomvmo5Xf-mXvPMPZ4ZTrSkIRrukoygUOqIlcQXyKfETD3L-pzPohwrxF9fnuGsP1ERaCUqImLox54snWMkyS56zC3EB2v2dH4A?key=K4yOdNJZaU7TmTmXQxms9JvZ" alt=""/></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Step 5: Activate your public status page</h4> <p>Finish the whole process with a final click on the blue button below.</p> <p>Now you should see a page with your status page settings (you can open them anytime easily by navigating to the “Status pages” option in the left menu, remember?).</p> <p>If you don’t use a custom domain name for your status page, you’ll be able to get the URL of your status page here. By default, it should look like stats.uptimerobot.com/XXXXXX:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXegdh-0LKeJbnsTg29qV3EE_mSzZ1ZwUAfXLWdxRJgovUf4LnTydUDRsO9KBBMccPBPszUlwE3YFjGVpkfbCTedCDUDNAV9E4SQz7sC2pSdZMapTeXGRH6PAfv9KjaPFt2aV-czAQ?key=K4yOdNJZaU7TmTmXQxms9JvZ" alt=""/></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Status page tips & tricks</h3> <p>Here’s how to make the most of your new status page(s):</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Speak their language</strong>: Avoid jargon and use clear, user-friendly terms that reflect the customer experience.</li> <li><strong>Enable email updates</strong>: Allow users to subscribe for updates to stay informed when new incidents or changes are posted.</li> <li><strong>Design wisely</strong>: Balance simplicity and detail. Customize fonts, colors, themes, and layouts with UptimeRobot for a clean yet functional design.</li> <li><strong>Communicate clearly during incidents</strong>: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Acknowledge quickly</strong>: Show users you’re aware of issues as soon as possible.</li> <li><strong>Stay transparent</strong>: Share information honestly, even if it’s limited.</li> <li><strong>Choose channels carefully</strong>: Use a mix of email, social media, and your website for serious incidents.</li> <li><strong>Update regularly</strong>: Keep users informed consistently, even if no new information is available.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Provide real-time updates</strong>: Maintain promised update intervals and be sure that those posting updates have accurate information.</li> <li><strong>Include historic data</strong>: Showcase past uptime and incident reports to build confidence and demonstrate reliability.</li> <li><strong>Test announcements</strong>: Run test updates to verify that everything is functioning properly before your status page goes live.</li> </ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Best status page examples</h4> <p>There are many examples of good-looking status pages. We’ve picked the best three for you to get an idea of how your status page can look like.</p> <p>For example, the video editing tool Kamua went for a minimalistic look with their logo and brand color used in the header. It uses the dark theme, too.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXchFC4GcEvTOxfmobuK7m-kQ8lFRwlSYc4N42kNSSbbd7UUv9aig0qLCEM9dxyYLSlL1DiEI9aiGD8oexMNUxc6_DRhe4o01G_WRRNKrAkm5GKwQ4FJ3ChdLCuFw8B_b9vVoLnWgw?key=K4yOdNJZaU7TmTmXQxms9JvZ" alt=""/></figure> <p>Similarly, ShuftiPro went for a minimalistic design with their own logo, using a light theme. Notice the floating status bar.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfZheFX4KYwtPrNpSEMVctz4AGzMEv0bYIz4WzZdNTK3RsknOMiDTZ0ztlKVorqK1mcyIk-xu7wq_JPi0Mx1T9Qaxy49c5gilF68PHhb4E5tnHMNoXxqnGy0jKaRHvgY9Ss_X-2wQ?key=K4yOdNJZaU7TmTmXQxms9JvZ" alt=""/></figure> <p>On the other hand, Voicemod is using a more dense dark-themed status page with a general uptime overview and status updates.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXczcQIpcvWxADpw3j-FzvQyl5jIqvGhBnE9ttuQTNU_vdsgFjzDrI1EJd1IdNW_tUFJ8-gCtUDBF9NZjn2fNVcPY4d-6gvMc1yVyC2XeJQZc0s9MgkTapx_WNDshVUxoObCI1zrMg?key=K4yOdNJZaU7TmTmXQxms9JvZ" alt=""/></figure> <p>Get inspired or just take a look at what other status pages look like and check our article with <a href="https://uptimerobot.com/blog/10-real-status-page-examples/?utm_source=uptimerobot.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=status-pages-guide&utm_content=examples">10 real status page examples</a> like Apple, Cloudflare, or Netflix.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Free vs. paid status pages</h2> <p>When it comes to keeping your users informed about system status, choosing the right status page provider is crucial.</p> <p>This choice involves balancing considerations such as features, cost, reliability, security, and support. </p> <p>Let’s take a closer look at the differences between free (or open-source) and paid status page solutions to help guide your decision.</p> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td></td><td><strong>Paid Status Pages</strong></td><td><strong>FREE Status Pages</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Cost</strong></td><td>Starts at $7 / per month</td><td>Free</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Features</strong></td><td>Custom domain and password</td><td>Basic features</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Customization</strong></td><td>Logo, font, colors</td><td>Limited</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Number of monitors</strong></td><td>3, 100, or more</td><td>1</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <p>Considering the effort involved in building and maintaining a custom status page, many find the convenience of a paid service well worth the investment. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2> <p>A well-structured status page can help guide users through the stormy seas of service disruptions with clarity and confidence.</p> <p>And as a business owner, providing real-time updates ensures that your communication strategy is robust, empathetic, and user-centric.</p> <p>By adopting best practices in crafting incident reports, offering real-time updates, and diligently testing your status page, you’re not just managing a crisis—you’re enhancing your brand’s reputation and fostering a loyal user base. </p> <p>Create your first status page or upgrade your current one to maximize the benefits!</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://uptimerobot.com/signUp?utm_source=uptimerobot.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=status-pages-guide&utm_content=uptimerobot">Create FREE Status Page</a></div> </div> <div class="author-box"> <div class="author-avatar"> <img src="https://uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hub/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/laura_clayton-150x150.jpeg" width="90" height="90" alt="Laura Clayton" class="avatar avatar-90 wp-user-avatar wp-user-avatar-90 alignnone photo" /> </div> <div class="author-info"> <div class="author-name-linkedin"> <h5 class="author-name"> <p class="author-written-by">Written by</p> <a href="https://uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hub/author/laura/" class="author-link"> Laura Clayton </a> </h5> </div> <p class="author-position"> Copywriter <span>|</span> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-clayton-b00a4aa4/" target="_blank" class="author-linkedin"> <i class="fab fa-linkedin"></i> </a> </p> <p class="author-bio">Laura Claytonhas over a decade of experience in the tech industry, she brings a wealth of knowledge and insights to her articles, helping businesses maintain optimal online performance.
