Feature Requests New "Hidden" status between Private and Public

Completed

I'm really needing a "hidden" status for pages, for them to be shareable (to client ..).

Exactly on the same model that Gdrive/Gsuite :

Private > For your eyes Only

Public > Shareable to the world. Can be linked on a public website. Can be found and indexed by google (and you have a lot .. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aupdown.io

Hidden > Only for people who know the URL, to be shared internally. With a long hash key in url that cannot be bruteforced, with meta no index , cannot be indexed by google.

(YES, one could find the url if they hack my mailbox,the same if I share a password by email , same for google drive "shared to anyone with the link", or a wetransfer private file, that's good a security enough for most usecases)

Right now, public pages are too easy to find and can be indexed, so nogo for this usecase.

thanks for the consideration !

To extend:

"Hidden URL" -> The status page is public, but the domain is just not shown.

@Adrian that's a different case, this one is already possible by setting an "Alias" for your check.

Ah okay, wasn't aware of this.

Generally still not the same. The alias itself wouldn't be "anonymous" either, as we still need to know the site.

Also, we don't want to use the alias, as we want to see the domains...

But still just want to hide the name at the public page.

Ok, then feel free to create another suggestion because it's not the same thing that is asked here.

Since yesterday I fell in love with updown.io :)

But there is one show-stopper:

The multi-site status-page is lacking the option to switch to "private".

Even when the single check status-pages are all set to private, the multi-site is publicly available.

Demo

multi-site: https://updown.io/p/gtcsq

single-site: https://updown.io/a56e

The multi-site should have a private-switch or as an alternative should only show those single-status which are set to public.
