It would be good to mention where the service is hosted so that we can make sure that the availability profile isn't the same than our service.

Right now the meta page is hosted on Heroku so I wouldn't use if for anything that's on EC2 for example.

Question - if this is really to be the ultimate status page - a service wouldn't want to use their own DNS - correct? They'll want to use [domain].statuspage.io - right?

Perhaps. Or have multiple domains and DNS providers and point both status subdomains to statuspage. (We created status.phaxio.com and status.phaxio.co after the whole Zerigo fiasco last year. co is on zerigo, com is on Route53 )

I like that - dropping the "m" in .com would retain a sense of ownership of the url.
