Good point. The status page is on another cloud but since this is a DNS issue, the subdomain is down. In the future, we'll investigate running this page on a secondary DNS.
This has been a feature requested for, as far as I can tell from the support forums, four years now. It should be possible to make this allowed/disallowed per-zone, and as far as I'm concerned, I don't care who is able to download my tiny zone file. It would allow me to add more diversified DNS servers in the face of things like a DoS against Namecheap.
