Custom domains
By default, your status page is hosted at status.batida.io/your-slug. You can connect your own domain for a fully branded experience -- for example, status.acme.com.
Setting up a custom domain
- Navigate to Status Pages and open your status page settings.
- Go to the Domain tab.
- Enter your custom domain (e.g.,
status.acme.com). - Click Add Domain.
- Batida displays the DNS records you need to configure.
DNS configuration
Add the following CNAME record to your domain's DNS settings:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | status | cname.batida.io |
If your DNS provider does not support CNAME at the root, use an A record:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| A | status | 76.76.21.21 |
INFO
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though most providers update within a few minutes.
SSL/TLS certificates
Batida automatically provisions a free SSL/TLS certificate for your custom domain via Let's Encrypt. The certificate is renewed automatically -- no manual action required.
To trigger certificate provisioning:
- After configuring your DNS records, return to the Domain tab.
- Click Verify Domain.
- Batida checks the DNS configuration and provisions the certificate.
The verification process usually completes within a few minutes.
Domain verification
Batida verifies that you control the domain before activating it. Verification methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| DNS CNAME | Add a CNAME record pointing to Batida |
| DNS TXT | Add a TXT record with a verification token |
| HTTP file upload | Upload a verification file to your web root |
DNS-based verification is recommended because it works regardless of whether you have an existing website on the domain.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Domain not verifying | Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48h) |
| Certificate not issuing | Ensure the CNAME or A record is correctly configured |
| Mixed content warnings | Batida handles redirects automatically; check for hardcoded HTTP links |
| Subdomain not working | Verify the subdomain record, not the root domain |
Switching back to the default domain
If you need to remove your custom domain, open the Domain tab and click Remove Domain. Your status page reverts to status.batida.io/your-slug and all existing links continue to work.
