# Publish a status page for your service

> Give your customers a public page with the state and 90-day uptime of the services you pick, and notes you post during incidents and maintenance.

A status page tells your own customers whether your service is working, without them having to email you. It shows the [uptime monitors](https://vpsnine.com/help/uptime-monitoring) you choose with their state now and their uptime over 90 days, and the notes you post when something is wrong or planned. Each account can publish 3 pages, free.

## Publish a page

1. In the panel, open **Monitoring**, then **status pages**.
2. Enter a title, like Northwind Labs status, and an address: the page lives at `vpsnine.com/s/` followed by what you type (3 to 40 lowercase letters, digits and dashes).
3. Optionally add a short logo text and a description.
4. Tick the monitors to show, up to 20, and choose **publish**.

## What visitors see

The page shows each monitor by the name you gave it, its state now (operational, down, or under maintenance while paused) and a bar for each of the last 90 days, coloured by how much downtime the day had. Hovering a day shows its uptime and how long each outage lasted.

It never shows what a monitor checks: no URLs, hostnames, ports or error messages. You can name a monitor "Website" and keep the address it checks to yourself.

The headline sums up the worst state on the page: all systems operational, some systems down, or maintenance in progress. The same data is at `vpsnine.com/s/your-name.json` for your own tools.

## Post a note

When something is wrong, or before planned work, post a note on the page's settings screen:

- **Incident**: something is broken. While it is open, the page says some systems are down.
- **Maintenance**: planned work. While it is open, the page says maintenance is in progress.
- **Notice**: anything else your customers should know.

Open notes show at the top of the page. Choose **mark resolved** when it is over: the note moves to the page's past 14 days. Notes are plain text; line breaks are kept.

## Search engines

New pages ask search engines not to list them (a `noindex` tag), so the page is public to anyone with the link but doesn't show up in search results. Tick **Let search engines index the page** if you want it found.

## Change the address or delete the page

You can change the address at any time; the old one stops working at once and someone else may take it. Deleting a page removes it and its notes. Deleting a monitor takes it off every page it was on.

Your own domain (like status.example.com) isn't supported yet: link to the vpsnine.com address from your site or your app's help menu instead.
