Instatus

Instatus lets you create a public status page for your service in under 10 seconds. No coding, no design skills—just pick a template, add your services, and publish. It's built for teams that need to communicate outages or maintenance clearly without spending hours on setup.

What it does

Instatus provides a hosted status page that you can customize with your brand colors and logo. You add your services (like API, website, or database), and when something goes down, you update the status in real time. Subscribers get notified via email or Slack. The free plan supports up to 100 subscribers and unlimited services.
