Uptime monitoring. You keep hearing us talking about it and you know why it’s important, hey, you might even have a StatusCake account. But do you know what to do if you do experience website downtime? Let’s do a little quiz. Your website has suffered two hours of downtime. Do you: If you answered a, you might be a lost cause (I’m only joking, you should just definitely read to the end of this post), and if you answered d, crack out the sales bell and start dinging!

May 31, 2022 – Columbia, MD – StatusCast today announced the release of its IT Incident Management service, expanding its flagship offering from best-of-breed Status Page services to include the full incident management life-cycle. The new offering goes beyond standard status updates, allowing IT teams to respond faster and with more effectiveness when systems fail or go offline.

We were introducing the Profiles feature! You can now have the same account on multiple profiles or teams with this feature. Our customers requested it, and we delivered it!

We are super excited to announce a major milestone in our company history. 10 years ago, iLert started with a simple mission: help companies to increase their uptime and deliver a seamless digital experience. Every feature in iLert is built to help you to respond to critical alerts faster and increase your uptime.

These days, more and more IT teams spend much of their workday in Slack. It’s essentially a second virtual home. For those employees who find Slack their main source of communication, it stands to reason that you need to access tools, bots, apps, and more – directly within the Slack environment. You shouldn’t have to leave your home to get your work done, and you shouldn’t have to leave Slack to communicate with and update your team and your clients.

In the spirit of highlighting the importance of Status Pages and how they impact users, we gathered actual stories from various Uptime.com employees. A time in their lives where they landed on a company’s status page (outside of work) to investigate problems they were experiencing. Enjoy!

Slack has become one of the most popular tools in recent years. Slack is used for a lot of work and communication in many industries. They're a crowd pleaser! We've integrated with Slack so you can get your alerts exactly where the action is!

Now you can get your alerts on incidents anywhere you want! It's very probable that you already know Zapier, but if you don't know it, here's a brief intro. Zapier is one of everyone's favorite tools on the internet. It connects everything! You can easily connect systems that don't speak directly with each other or automate repetitive tasks with no code. That's one of the reasons we decided to create an integration. It was the easiest way to connect IsDown with the world 😁.

Not all status updates are published because of an incident or scheduled maintenance event. Sometimes, IT teams simply want to cast an informational status update without affecting the overall status.
