Status page overview
What is a status page
A status page is a web page that communicates the current health of your services. It shows users whether your systems are up, down, or experiencing issues.
A status page helps you:
- Keep customers and stakeholders informed.
- Reduce support requests during outages.
- Build trust through transparency.
StatusGator as a status page aggregator
StatusGator is primarily a status page aggregator. Instead of visiting multiple vendor status pages, StatusGator monitors them all and consolidates the data into one unified status page. This gives you a single source of truth for your service health.
StatusGator can monitor:
- Third-party services – SaaS tools, APIs, and cloud platforms.
- Websites – Track uptime and availability.
- Ping monitors – Verify network endpoints or servers.
- Custom monitors – Add anything you manage manually with incidents.
Create your own status page
In addition to aggregating third-party services, StatusGator allows you to create your own status page for your infrastructure or applications. There’s no limitation—you can display anything you want.
Example use cases
- E-commerce site – Show real-time availability of your checkout API, payment gateways, or shipping integrations to reassure customers.
- SaaS platform – Share service health and uptime with your users.
- Educational institution – Monitor third-party tools (like Zoom or Google Workspace) while adding custom monitors for on-campus resources (Wi-Fi, printers, etc.).
- IT teams or DevOps – Track many services across multiple departments with customized boards.
- Managed Service Providers (MSPs) – Offer clients status pages for the services you manage on their behalf.
Public vs. private status pages
- Public status page – Share with customers or external stakeholders. Anyone with the link can access it.
- Private status page – Restrict access with password protection or SAML Single Sign-On (SSO). Best for internal IT and teams.
Why use a StatusGator status page?
- Centralized view – One place for all your services, internal and external.
- Transparency – Keep users informed about outages or maintenance.
- Customization – Brand your page, use a custom domain, and select which monitors to display.
- Flexibility – Use it for customers, internal teams, or as a managed service for clients.
