Statuspage

Statuspage is a hosted service for communicating about outages and incidents. Instead of running their own status site and email lists, companies publish updates through it.

What Statuspage offers

• Hosted status pages — a public page showing the current state of a company's services.
• Email and text notifications — subscribers are alerted when an incident starts or changes.
• Incident templates — ready-made wording to speed up updates during downtime.
• Uptime Showcase — a display of service availability.

Who it works with

Statuspage suits any organisation whose customers rely on its online services and expect clear, timely news when something breaks.

Web and technology companies that must keep customers informed during downtime. Dropbox and DigitalOcean are named as users.
