A custom domain for your status page

Who can use it

Custom domains come with Pro (one) and Business (three). Your page stays reachable at yourname.statuscx.eu as well.

Setting it up

1. Dashboard → Services → your status page → Domains, enter the address, for example status.example.com.

2. At your domain's DNS provider, add a CNAME record:

   Name	Type	Target
   status.example.com	CNAME	yourname.statuscx.eu

3. Back in the dashboard, click Verify. Once the check finds the record, the domain is verified.

If your domain is with us, you add the record under Domains, see DNS records. Depending on the provider, new records take a few minutes to be visible everywhere; if Verify fails right after adding the record, try again a little later.

Certificate

You don't upload anything. As soon as the domain is verified, the page automatically gets a certificate from Let's Encrypt on the first visit. That very first visit therefore takes a few seconds longer.

What doesn't work

• The bare domain (example.com without a subdomain): the root of a domain can't be a CNAME. Use a subdomain such as status.example.com.
• Domains under statuscx.eu or citexnode.*.

Cloudflare

If you use Cloudflare with the proxy (orange cloud), set the record to DNS only (grey cloud), at least until the domain is verified and the certificate has been issued. Behind the proxy the check doesn't see the CNAME, and Let's Encrypt can't reach the page directly.
