On plans with custom domain support, a status page doesn't have to live on
Status's default domain — it can live on your own, like
status.yourcompany.com.
Setting it up
- In your status page's settings, enter the custom domain you want to use.
- At your DNS provider, create a CNAME record pointing that hostname at the target Status gives you.
- Back in the dashboard, run the verify step. Status checks that the CNAME is in place and, once it is, marks the domain verified.
TLS
Once a custom domain is verified, Status automatically obtains and manages a TLS certificate for it — there's nothing to upload or renew yourself. Unverified domains are never issued a certificate, which also means a domain you don't actually control can't be used to serve someone else's status page under your name.
Troubleshooting verification
If verification fails, the most common cause is the CNAME not having propagated yet, or pointing at the wrong target. DNS changes can take a while to propagate depending on your provider and existing record TTLs — wait a bit and re-run verification if the first attempt doesn't succeed.
Custom domains require a plan with the custom domain entitlement — see Choosing a plan.
