What will you use a status page for?
Start with the problem you want to solve. Each page shows the features involved, with a worked example.

Incident communicationSay what is happening, step by step
Scheduled maintenanceWarn people before planned downtime
Automate with the APILet your own tools update the page
Status pages for clientsA page for each client you look afterIncidents

- Saved templates for common problems
- Impact levels and a full incident history
Components and uptime

FAQ
Common questions about status pages
What is a status page?
A simple public page that shows whether your services are working. When something goes wrong, you post what is happening there, and customers can see it without having to contact you.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes. Free costs nothing and has no time limit, with 100 subscribers, 2 team members and 25 components. It shows a small "Powered by Orbis Status" link. No card is required.
Do I get my own web address?
Yes, on every plan and at no extra cost. You get your-name.orbisstatus.co.uk, and you can connect your own domain, such as status.yourcompany.com, with one CNAME record. The HTTPS certificate is automatic.
Does Orbis Status check whether my systems are up?
No. Your team updates the page, or your own monitoring tool does it through the REST API. Orbis Status tells your customers. It does not watch your systems.
How do people get notified?
By email on every plan, and through Slack and Microsoft Teams channels. Startup and above add SMS to UK mobile numbers and signed webhooks. There is also an Atom feed.
Can a status page be private?
Yes. Private pages start at £29 a month. Only the people you add can sign in, using a link we email them. Growth and above can also allow your office IP addresses.
Can different customers see different things?
Yes. An audience-specific page is one status page, £115 a month, where each viewer only sees the components, metrics and incidents of their groups. It suits a business with many clients on separate systems.
Do you support single sign-on?
Yes, through OpenID Connect, which Okta, Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace and others offer. It comes with Startup and above, and all private and audience-specific plans. You prove you own your email domain with a DNS record first. SAML is not supported.
How does paying work?
Each status page has its own monthly plan, paid by card through Stripe. You can change plan or cancel at any time.
Where is my data hosted?
On a server in Europe. You can export or delete subscribers and delete your account yourself.
