Clever free alternative to hosted status pages

Nice "hack". I'm using statuspage.io for the notification side of things but can see why this is a very decent free alternative.

statuspage.io

But seriously - statuspage.io is amazing for this and super cheap.
javery on HNStatusPage.io is nice but they charge $99/mo for custom CSS and $399/mo for custom HTML. I don't see that as being cheap.

donnfelker on HNNot specifically. If you take a look at statuspage.io [1], status.io [2] or cachet [3] they look more or less the same. [1] https://www.statuspage.io/ [2] https://status.io/ [3]…
