B2B SaaS status page for customer trust

Enterprise buyers and mid-market teams increasingly ask: “Do you have a public status page?” It signals operational maturity cheaper than SOC 2 — and cuts “is it down on your side?” emails during incidents when everyone can see the same green-or-red signal.

StillOnline gives B2B teams a hosted public status page, external HTTP uptime checks, incident history, and owner alerts through the StillOnline Telegram bot, Slack, or email. Setup takes about five minutes with one health URL — Free includes one production check.

Quick answer

StillOnline gives B2B SaaS teams a hosted public status page with external HTTP uptime checks, incident history, and Google email subscriptions for customers. Founders get owner alerts via the StillOnline Telegram bot, Slack, or email. Setup takes about 5 minutes with one health URL — Free tier includes 1 production check (pricing).

Where buyers expect the link

Security and legal reviewers look for a stable URL they can bookmark — not a screenshot in a deck. Place the StillOnline link where technical buyers already read during evaluation.

What B2B customers read on the page

Buyers want current state, component checks, and an open incident timeline — not your internal Grafana. StillOnline’s public page is built for that audience.

  • Current state — operational / degraded / down
  • Per-component checks — API, app, webhook ingress (webhook guide)
  • Open incident with timeline — incident template
  • Subscribe — email updates without joining your marketing list

What your team needs internally

Customers see the public page; your on-call needs faster channels when checks fail.

Honest limits (builds trust in sales calls)

StillOnline is not Datadog — no traces or log search (status without full observability). It is external proof the contracted URL responds and transparent communication when it does not. Say that plainly in security calls; buyers respect the boundary.

Implementation checklist

  1. Production GET /healthhealth endpoint design
  2. StillOnline project + public page
  3. Legal/sales add URL to templates
  4. First revenue or first enterprise pilot — status at first revenue
  5. Runbook: probe red → Telegram → incident post within 10 minutes
