The Value of a Public Status Page
A public status page can be used to share your third-party service status with your team members or with your organization as a whole. During outages this page should be the first stop to check the status of your external services. For deeper analysis there is always the IncidentHub dashboard.
Setting Up a Public Status Page
When you create an IncidentHub account, you get a public status page for free. You can customize the page with your logo and other branding options. Login to your account and click on the "Status Page" button on the navigation bar on the left.
On the configuration page, you can fill in the details of your status page like title, name of your company, URL, support email, and logo.
IncidentHub automatically creates a dedicated subdomain for your status page. You can copy the URL to this from the bottom of the configuration page.
