Each time a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message will be displayed to the site visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages that'll display, but what is common for all of them is that they're generic and most likely shall have absolutely nothing in common with the layout of your website, which can be irritating for any website visitor. This is the primary reason why hosting providers have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, website visitors will see your custom content, which may be informative or funny, in accordance with your preference, and which shall match the overall design of your website, so the pages will not look like they're not part of your website at all. You may use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Hosting

You can set up customized error pages for each of your Internet sites with ease if you use any of our Linux hosting. This could be done via the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all accounts and once you go there, you'll be able to set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account before you start and enter the links to them through the process. This feature may be de-activated anytime and the options you'll be able to pick from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache server page. Custom error pages could be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it must incorporate some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you may copy the whole content necessary for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All semi-dedicated hosting plans which we offer support custom made error pages and it will not take more than a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your CP in which you'll have to enter the links to the custom-made files via basic drop-down menus and an easy to use interface. Needless to say, you have to upload them in your account before that. If you do not need to employ this function at some point, you will be able to deactivate it just as quickly and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable when your visitors encounter an error. If you prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to allow the custom error pages. The file has to include a specific line of code plus a link for every error type and you can find an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
