# Public status pages

> Create a public, branded status page for your uptime checks with a custom domain, incident updates and email subscribers. No cookies or third-party scripts.

A status page shows the current state and history of the checks you
choose, on a public page.

## Create one

**Status pages → New status page** in the workspace menu. Choose:

- a **name** and a **slug**: the page lives at
  `https://privatusanalytics.com/status/<slug>`,
- which **checks** to show (each shows under its check name),
- your logo and colors,
- optionally a **custom domain** such as `status.example.com`: point a
  CNAME at `privatusanalytics.com` and add the domain to the status page.

## Incident posts

Post updates during an incident ("Investigating", "Identified",
"Resolved") with a message. Posts appear on the page in a timeline.

## Subscribers

Visitors can subscribe by email. They confirm with a link (double
opt-in) and can unsubscribe from any email. Subscribers get your incident
posts. You can see and remove subscribers in the status page settings.
Their addresses are used only for these notifications.

## Privacy

Status pages set no cookies and don't load third-party scripts.
