This is standard operating procedure for many companies in the VPS and server market. It's to ensure that they can keep customers updated even if all of their infrastructure goes down. Some companies take it a step further and put their status page on a completely separate domain, e.g. DreamHost's http://www.dreamhoststatus.com

And a separate network :)

$ host dreamhoststatus.com

dreamhoststatus.com has address 96.126.109.82

$ nslookup 96.126.109.82

Non-authoritative answer:

82.109.126.96.in-addr.arpa name = li366-82.members.linode.com.

But the same DNS servers :(

$ nslookup > set type=ns > dreamhoststatus.com Server: 192.168.1.1 Address: 192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer: dreamhoststatus.com nameserver = ns3.dreamhost.com. dreamhoststatus.com nameserver = ns2.dreamhost.com. dreamhoststatus.com nameserver = ns1.dreamhost.com.
