When a page on your site doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages which will show up, but what's typical for all of them is that they're generic and in all probability will have practically nothing that resembles the design of your site, which could be aggravating for any website visitor. That is the reason why web hosting service providers have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, visitors will see your customized content, which may be informative or amusing, depending on your preference, and which will match the overall design and style of your website, so the pages won't appear as if they're not part of your site at all. You could use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Web Hosting

The customized error pages function is available with every cloud web hosting package which we offer and you will be able to substitute all of the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of clicks from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. You will have to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can easily do this for every single site hosted in the account individually, so that every set of custom made pages will have the same style and design as the Internet site it's part of. If required, you can always revert back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. An alternate way to set customized error pages is to create an .htaccess file in the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you haven't done this before, you could simply copy the needed program code from our Help article on this subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting which we supply support customized error pages and it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this functionality. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel in which you will need to enter the links to the custom-made files using very simple drop-down menus and an easy to work with interface. Of course, you should upload them inside your account before that. In case you don't need to use this feature at some point, you will be able to deactivate it just as quickly and choose an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be displayed when your visitors encounter an error. If you'd prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to allow the custom error pages. The file has to have a particular line of code and a link for every error type and you can easily discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
