Rob Hadfield (@robhadfield) · 2025-10-24 · ♥ 1 Great suggestion for discussion! Pauline P. Narvas (@pawlean) · 2025-10-24 · ♥ 1 Hey, @umamaheshdiddi! Welcome to the Vercel Community :slight_smile: Great question and a thread for discussion. @robhadfield do you have anything you'd like to share? If Vercel itself is down, your app won’t be accessible since it’s hosted on Vercel’s infrastructure. There isn’t a direct workaround for that, but you can have a few fallback options in place. One simple option is to set up a **status page** somewhere else (like GitHub Pages, Netlify, or another static host) so users can still check what’s going on. Tools like [Statuspage.io](https://statuspage.io) or Better Uptime make this easy or you can just host a small static HTML page on a different CDN.
