Status pages are best hosted offsite, which means status page companies can easily justify higher prices since the alternative is to run your own servers exclusively for the status page (can't just throw the status page software on your app server).
I'm skeptical that running Cachet on your own servers would be cheaper than StatusPage's smallest plan, especially if you have any kind of redundancy in place.
- cyberferret 10y agoOur main stack is on Amazon AWS (West Coast) and we run Cachet on a $5/mo Digital Ocean Droplet on the East Coast for redundancy. Took about 30 minutes to set up Cachet on the DO VPS. That is enough redundancy for our little bootstrapped web app until we are large enough to be able to afford something better.
