# Status pages

> Publish a status page on your own subdomain or domain.

A status page shows your components, their current status, and a 90-day uptime
history, grouped by service. It updates from your monitors and your incidents. You
can run more than one.

## Create a page

1. Go to **Status page → New**.
2. Name it and pick a vanity URL.
3. Choose public or private.

The page is live at `your-slug.sentivel.com`. A page with zero dependencies is a
finished, valid state: add monitors, publish, done.

## Custom domains

Serve a page on your own domain (`status.yourcompany.com`):

1. Add the domain on the status-page settings.
2. Create the `CNAME` record it shows you.
3. Verify. Sentivel checks the DNS and provisions TLS.

## Design

Pick a design when you create the page:

* **Modern.** Bold, the default.
* **Classic.** Calm and conventional, with status words per component and a
  classic uptime-bar footer.

Both render light and dark. Components group under their service, and a service's
description shows as the category subtitle.

## Announcements and incidents

Post an announcement for planned work or a heads-up. When an incident is open, the
page shows it in plain language and stops claiming "all systems operational".
Upstream advisories from [cascade](/guides/dependencies) appear here too.

## Subscribers and feeds

Customers can subscribe by email (double opt-in: they confirm before they ever
get a message) or follow the Atom feed at `/feed`. Both are notified when you post
an incident update.

## Embed status elsewhere

* **Badge.** An SVG at `…/badge.svg?component=<id>` for a README or site footer.
* **Widget.** A themed live HTML widget you can iframe.

## Password-gate a page

Make a page private and set a password to share it with a limited audience without
making it public.
