isitup.cloud — a simple way to keep your users informed about incidents

We’ve been developing web systems for over 15 years, building nearly a hundred different projects. When a project has many users, it’s crucial to show its status — what’s working fine and where there are issues.

When users face problems, they visit your site and immediately see confirmation that yes, there’s an issue, and you’re already aware and working on it. This transparency builds trust and improves your communication with users.

We tried various status page services but always ran into issues. Some had poorly designed status pages, others made it frustratingly difficult to log incidents — so much so that we either reported them too late or didn’t report them at all. As a result, users weren’t properly informed. Some services had clunky integrations.

So, we decided to build our own tool that works exactly the way we need it to. That’s how isitup.cloud was born — a clean, minimalistic status page service. We made it for ourselves first, ensuring it was simple and effective. But since it turned out to be genuinely useful, we opened it up for everyone.

We started with a free plan that includes the core feature — a status page. The service is still new, but we’re already using it in our projects and continuously improving it.

We’d love to have you onboard! Try it out and share your feedback — it will help us make isitup.cloud even better.
