Your status page is served on a subdomain you own, such as status.example.com. You connect it in the console, add two DNS records at your DNS provider, and EvoHub issues and renews the TLS certificate for you. A status page goes live only once a domain is connected.

Before you start

  • Use a subdomain, such as status.example.com. Apex domains such as example.com are not supported.
  • You need access to your domain's DNS settings to add CNAME records.
  • Each status page has one custom domain.

Connect a domain

Open the Domain tab

Open your status page in Status Pages and go to Settings → Domain.

Enter your domain

Under Custom domain, type the subdomain in Your domain, for example status.example.com, and click Connect domain.

Copy the DNS records

The console shows the records to add, each with a Copy button:

Type Name Value
CNAME _acme-challenge.status.example.com The validation value the console shows for your domain
CNAME status.example.com cname.evohub-dns.com

Add the validation record first

At your DNS provider, add the _acme-challenge CNAME exactly as the console shows it. This record lets EvoHub prove the domain is yours and issue its certificate.

Then add the routing record

Once validation succeeds, add the CNAME from your subdomain to cname.evohub-dns.com. Adding the records in this order means visitors are never sent to the domain before its certificate is ready.

Wait for it to go green

The status badge updates on its own while validation is in progress. You can also click Re-check. When it reads Verified · SSL active, click View public page.

Tip

If your domain's DNS is on Cloudflare with the proxy turned on, set Cloudflare's SSL/TLS mode to Full, not Flexible.

Preview before connecting a domain

You can see the status page exactly as readers will, before it has a domain or without one. Open the page in the console and, at the top, choose Preview. The status page opens in a new tab, drawn by the same renderer as the live site, with a thin banner on top: Preview — only your team can see this. Connect a domain to publish.

  • Only signed-in members of your organization who can read the status page can open a preview. The link from the button works once and only for two minutes; after that, choose Preview again.
  • A preview lasts 15 minutes from the moment you ask for it. Links inside it stay within the preview.
  • Previews are never indexed or cached, are not counted in analytics, and are not billed.
  • Nothing can be written from a preview: the subscribe form is hidden, so nobody is subscribed and no email is sent. Google Analytics does not run.

Domain statuses

Badge Meaning
Pending DNS The domain is connected in EvoHub, but it has not been validated yet. Check the DNS records.
Validating The domain was accepted and the certificate is being validated and issued.
Verified · SSL active The domain is live with a valid certificate.
Action needed The domain was blocked or its certificate expired. Check that both records still match what the console shows and click Re-check. If it stays this way, remove the domain and connect it again, or contact info@evosync.io.

DNS changes can take a while to spread, depending on your provider and the records' TTL. The console keeps checking while a domain is Pending DNS or Validating.

TLS certificates

EvoHub issues the certificate for your domain automatically once validation succeeds, and renews it before it expires. Keep the _acme-challenge record in place so renewal keeps working. There is nothing to upload.

Change or remove a domain

To move the page to a different domain, remove the current one and connect the new one.

To remove a domain, click Remove domain in Settings → Domain and confirm. The page stops being served on that address. You can then delete the two CNAME records at your DNS provider.

Deleting a status page also removes its custom domain.

Who can connect a domain

Connecting, re-checking and removing a domain needs status:page:write, which Owners, Admins and Members have.
