When its back up, do yourself a favour and rent a $5/mo vps in another country from a provider like OVH or Hetzner and stick your status page on that.

"Yes but what if they go down" - it doesnt matter, having it hosted by someone who can be down for the same reason as your main product/service is a recipe for disaster.

Definitely. Tangentially, I encountered 504 Gateway Timeout errors on cloudflarestatus.com about an hour ago. The error page also disclosed the fact that it's powered by CloudFront (Amazon's CDN).

Or use a service like https://updown.io/ (I host my status page there).

https://cachethq.io/ is great for this

Amusingly enough, it is down right now because of Cloudflare :-)

Been using Cachet for quite a while before inevitably migrating to Atlassian's Statuspage.io. I'm a huge fan of self-hosting and self-managing every single thing in existence but Cachet was just such a PITA to maintain and there was just no other good alternative to Cachet that was also open source.
