Provider status monitoring
Live status for the DNS host, mail provider, registrar and other vendors your domains depend on, from a catalogue of over 900 status pages.
Updated · 2 min read
When your site is down, the first question is whether it is your site or your host. DomainGuard polls the public status pages of over 900 providers and matches them to the vendors your own domains actually use.
Where
- Web: Monitor, Provider status; the public page at nhmohio.com/status shows the whole catalogue.
- iOS: Account, Service status. A hero card appears only when one of your providers has an active problem. A slim strip under the Domains title names a provider incident and fades when it resolves.
- API/MCP:
GET /api/status/services,/incidents,/history(public);GET/PUT /api/status/subscriptions; toolsget_status_services.
Which providers are "yours"
The domain scan records the DNS host, the mail provider, the registrar and the software fingerprinted on the site. Service status leads with those, each with its live status. The Notify me about provider issues switch (on by default in the app) subscribes you only to providers found in your records; Subscribe all and Unsubscribe all exist on the web for the whole catalogue.
Incident detail
Tap a provider issue for what it means for you: which of your domains it touches (named), what is not affected, "Nothing to change on your side" when that is true, the provider's latest update, and a link to their status page.
Providers with no status page
A piece of software your site runs (WordPress, Next.js, nginx) has no uptime page. Its row reads "CVEs and KEVs only" and opens the full record of every CVE and KEV ever published against that software, counted by year and severity. See KEV and CVE alerts.
How polling works
The monitor runs on the five-minute tick and polls up to 250 services per run, subscribed services first, oldest poll first, so the rows anyone is watching are always fresh and the long tail rotates through in about a quarter of an hour. An incident is deduplicated for 30 minutes so a page that flaps does not send repeated alerts.
Suggesting a provider
If a vendor you rely on is missing, POST /api/status/suggest (the "Suggest a status page" form under Monitor) files its URL into a review queue. It is added to the catalogue once checked.
Alerts
Provider status push and email switches control delivery; the incident also appears in the alert feed naming the provider, and a recovery reads "is back to normal" rather than as a warning.
