Custom domains

Give your status page its own address, like status.yourdomain.com.

The addresses of a status page

AddressExampleWhat it is
On uptimecard.comuptimecard.com/status/yourdomain.comListed in UptimeCard search, with the site around it.
Its own subdomainyourname.uptimecard.comYour page on its own, without the UptimeCard menu. Every page gets one.
Your custom domainstatus.yourdomain.comThe same page, on your own address.

Change the uptimecard.com subdomain

In the editor's address settings. It must be 3 to 20 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, not starting or ending with a hyphen. Some names are reserved.

Connect your own domain

  1. 1
    In the editor's address settings, type the domain, for example status.yourdomain.com.
  2. 2
    The studio shows the DNS record to add at your domain provider: a CNAME for a subdomain, an A record for a root domain (yourdomain.com), and sometimes a TXT record. It has step-by-step guides for common providers.
  3. 3
    Wait until the studio shows the domain as live. DNS changes can take from minutes to a few hours.

Which custom domains also verify you

A subdomain of the page's own domain (status.yourdomain.com for a page about yourdomain.com), or that domain itself, verifies you automatically once it is live. Another domain (yourdomainstatus.com) works as an address on any plan but does not prove ownership; use another way to verify.

What your own address shows

  • The page, its incident list and each incident. Other paths lead to uptimecard.com.
  • Your own posts always show here, even before you verify.
  • On Innovator, a section can be hidden here but shown on uptimecard.com (see Who sees a section).
