How would you host a status page on Starlink? Are there web servers that are only connected to a satellite connection in house or something? Or is this just speculation that's how their marketing website works.

- geoffeg 1y agoStarlink still has infrastructure outside the satellites to run normal company stuff. If they screwed up something in their core routing system, or DNS, etc it could affect everything.
- dmix 1y agoAh good point
- ianburrell 1y agoStarlink has servers for the website and subscriber sites. Importantly, they have servers for controlling the satellite network. They also have multiple gateways for satellites to connect to the network. A problem in their network would take down the sites, and maybe the control plane for satellites.
- sneak 1y agoStarlink runs a terrestrial network to support the vehicles obviously. They have to do peering at POPs in cages on the ground like any other ISP.
