Whenever a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message will be displayed to the website visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages which will appear, but what is common for all of them is that they're generic and probably will have nothing in common with the layout of your site, which may be annoying for any website visitor. This is the main reason why web hosting companies have introduced a feature known as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, site visitors will see your unique content, which could be informative or funny, based on your personal preference, and that will match the overall design and style of your website, so the pages will not appear as if they're not part of your Internet site at all. You could use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

You'll be able to set up custom made error pages for each of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all shared hosting solutions which we offer, so after you log in to your Hepsia CP and go to the Hosted Domains section, you can click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that"ll appear, you can pick the sort of error page which should show up - a default one from our system, a standard Apache web server page or a customized one. For the last mentioned alternative, you have to assign the URL to the page, so if you use personalized pages, you should upload the files in your hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file positioned in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The precise syntax can be found in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this function even if you don't have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting which we offer support custom made error pages and it will not take more than several mouse clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option is available in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you will have to enter the links to the custom-made files through simple drop-down menus and an easy to work with interface. Keep in mind, you have to upload them inside your account before that. In case you do not need to use this function at some point, you can easily deactivate it just as quickly and choose an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be shown if your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you could also use an .htaccess file to allow the customized error pages. The file has to include a particular line of code as well as a link for each error type and you may discover an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
