Custom subdomain: status.yourdomain.com

A custom subdomain allows you to display your status page on your own domain, such as status.example.com.

Hosting your status page on a custom subdomain:

  • Go to Status Pages.
  • Pick the status page you want to add a custom domain to.
  • Type your domain's name in the Custom domain field.
  • Add the CNAME DNS record with generated Host and Target listed in the table.
  • Click Save changes.
info

If your custom sub-domain isn't available immediately after having configured it...

...please do not despair. The CNAME record may take up to 72 hours to sync with all the DNS registrars, which is why it also takes a bit longer for it to display your Status Page.
