Ordering

  1. Dashboard → Order → Status pages, or go straight to /statusseiten.
  2. Pick a plan: Free, Pro or Business, and click Add to cart. How they differ is in the overview.
  3. In the cart, enter the page's name and address, then Place order with obligation to pay. Pro and Business are paid from your credit, Free costs nothing.

The page is reachable right away at https://yourname.statuscx.eu.

The address

The address is the part before .statuscx.eu:

  • 3 to 32 characters,
  • only lowercase a–z, digits and hyphens,
  • reserved names such as www, api, status, admin or mail are not available.

If you would rather have your page at status.yourdomain.com, take Pro or Business and set up a custom domain afterwards.

The overview

After ordering you land under Dashboard → Services → your status page on the Overview tab. It shows the current status, components, open incidents, scheduled maintenance, subscribers and the uptime of the last 30 days, plus the public address, term and plan. The tabs next to it:

  • Incidents and Maintenance: messages to your users.
  • Components: what the page shows and how it is checked.
  • Subscribers and Webhooks: who gets notified.
  • Domains: custom domain (Pro, Business).
  • Settings: language, time zone and deleting the page.

Adding the first component

An empty page says nothing. Under Components you click Add component:

  1. Enter a name the way your users know the service: "Website", "Minecraft server", "Discord bot".
  2. Under Check, pick the type, for example HTTP, TCP or Ping.
  3. Enter the target (URL, or host and port) and click Create.

The first check starts right away; shortly after, the component turns green. Everything about check types and intervals is in Components and checks.

Sharing

You find the link to the page in the Overview under Public address. Put it where your users look first: in your Discord, in your website's footer, in the server MOTD. Badge and widget for your website are described in Design, badge and widget.
