Status pages, and putting one on your own domain
Publish the state of your services for your customers, post updates during an outage, and serve the page from a domain of yours.
Status pages are under Monitoring → Status pages, on the Starter plan and above. New status page asks for a title and an address: status.vpssnaps.com/ followed by a name of lowercase letters, digits and hyphens.
What it shows
- The monitors you add to it, in the order you choose, under the names you give them: visitors see "Website" or "API", never your addresses, ports or error messages.
- For each, whether it is up now, and 90 days of daily uptime bars.
- A banner saying whether everything is operational, and the outages of the last 30 days with the updates you posted on them.
- Response times only if you switch them on, and nothing at all while the page isn't published.
The page carries no analytics or advertising scripts of ours, and each version is kept for 30 seconds, so a change reaches visitors within about a minute.
Updates during an outage
Under Post an update, choose one of the page's outages or a notice of its own (planned maintenance, an announcement), a status (investigating, identified, monitoring, resolved), a title and a message. A notice of its own stays at the top of the page until you mark it resolved.
Your own domain (Agency)
Under Your own domain, enter the name, such as status.yourcompany.com, and add the record the page shows where that domain's DNS is managed:
status.yourcompany.com CNAME domains.vpssnaps.comOnce it resolves, Cloudflare checks the name and issues its certificate, usually within minutes; the page shows Waiting for DNS until then, then Live. If your domain's DNS is on Cloudflare too, leave the record's proxy off (DNS only). A domain at the root of a zone, like yourcompany.com itself, needs a DNS provider that allows a CNAME there (often called flattening or ALIAS). On Agency, "Powered by VPS Snaps" can come off as well.
Plans
Starter includes one status page, Standard three, Pro ten and Agency fifty. Pages beyond a plan's number go offline after a downgrade, oldest kept first, and a page on your own domain goes offline off Agency; nothing is deleted.
