Custom Domains

Host your status page on your own domain (e.g., status.example.com).

Note: Custom domains are available on the Nano plan only.

Setup Process

Step 1: Choose Your Domain

Decide on the subdomain you want to use for your status page. Common choices:

• status.example.com
• uptime.example.com
• health.example.com

Step 2: Configure DNS

Add a CNAME record in your DNS provider pointing to the exit1.dev status page host:

DNS propagation may take up to 48 hours, though it typically completes within a few minutes to a few hours.

Step 3: Add Domain in exit1.dev

1. Open your status page settings
2. Navigate to the Custom Domain section
3. Enter your custom domain (e.g., status.example.com)
4. Click Verify

Step 4: SSL Certificate

Once the domain is verified, exit1.dev automatically provisions an SSL certificate for your custom domain. This process is automatic and typically completes within a few minutes.

Verification

exit1.dev verifies your custom domain by:

1. Checking the DNS CNAME record points to status.exit1.dev
2. Provisioning an SSL certificate via Let’s Encrypt
3. Confirming HTTPS access works on the custom domain

Troubleshooting

Domain verification fails

• Ensure the CNAME record is correctly configured
• Wait for DNS propagation to complete
• Check for conflicting DNS records (e.g., an A record on the same subdomain)

SSL certificate not provisioning

• Verify the DNS record is active and resolving
• Ensure there are no CAA records blocking Let’s Encrypt
• Wait a few minutes and try again

Custom domain not loading

• Clear your browser cache
• Verify the DNS record with dig status.example.com CNAME
• Ensure the domain is verified in exit1.dev settings
