Show HN: StatusPage.io - Hosted, white label status pages

When I heard about this product, I was excited. There are 100 small things you need to have in place when you start to become a real business. I am happy as a clam when people take one of those things and will do it for us in a way that makes us not care about paying them. They help us do a better job serving our customers for a price less than an hour of an engineer's time each month. Awesome value prop.

I've been playing around with this for a little while now and it seems like a great service for the status page itch. One that we weren't scratching very well in the past.<p>I haven't even begun to dig into the API yet, but I've been happy with the ease of setup and how simple it is to create, update, and complete an outage or disruption report.<p>Thanks for the solving this problem, guys!

It would be good to mention where the service is hosted so that we can make sure that the availability profile isn't the same than our service.<p>Right now the meta page is hosted on Heroku so I wouldn't use if for anything that's on EC2 for example.

This is great! We (Balanced) open sourced our status page a few months ago, and received some really positive feedback from HN. How could we contribute our design as a template to statuspage.io?<p><a href="https://status.balancedpayments.com/" rel="nofollow">https://status.balancedpayments.com/</a> <a href="https://github.com/balanced/status.balancedpayments.com" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/balanced/status.balancedpayments.com</a> <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4812222" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4812222</a>

Interested to know what people think about the market for something like this. While it definitely serves a purpose, is this something that is sustainable and that people will pay money for (vs building it once, and setting it up internally)?<p>Not being skeptical, just wondering what people think... I've had ideas similar to this, but am still trying to figure out the threshold for payment on things that companies fully need but can justify building internally.

I found this service while doing research into launching a similar competing service. I didn't really expect it to show up on HN, though! Congrats on the launch. :)

The meta question. Does StatusPage.io use StatusPage.io...

Great product that solves a little but important problem the right way and hassle-free!<p>Plus, I really like the Series T Financing idea (see footer link).

Very happy to see this project. Had status.io (recently sold) for the very same purpose but wasn't able to implement it. Please make it more than just a status page, make customers understand the process (both external/internal) and we'll all be much happier as users.<p>Good luck!<p>PS: are you able to survive your customers problems (if things like EC2/EBS goes down again?)

On the pricing page, those two rows where the bold is not at the beginning slightly annoys me (I like things that match and line up).<p>I do like how easy it is to access pricing though.<p>There is also something going on with the testimonials on a 1080p screen, unless it is supposed to be spaced like: [x][x] [ ][x] [x][ ] where the blank boxes are white space.
