If a page on your Internet site does not load, an error message will be displayed to the visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages that will appear, but what is typical for all of them is that they are generic and most likely will have practically nothing in common with the layout of your site, which can be irritating for any site visitor. That is the primary reason why hosting companies have introduced a function named Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, site visitors will see your custom made content, which may be informative or amusing, in accordance with your choice, and which will match the layout of your site, so the pages won't look like they are not part of your website 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 Website Hosting

The customized error pages feature is available with every single website hosting package that we offer and you shall be able to swap all the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting CP. You'll need to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can do this for every single Internet site hosted in the account independently, so that each set of personalized pages shall have the exact same design and style as the Internet site it is part of. If needed, you could always go back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. A different way to set custom error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you haven't done this before, you can simply copy the necessary code from our Help article about the subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting that we supply support custom error pages and it shall not take more than several clicks inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you will have to type in the links to the custom-made files using very simple drop-down menus and an easy to use interface. Of course, you have to upload them in your account before that. If you do not want to employ this function at some point, you can disable it just as fast and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable whenever your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you may also use an .htaccess file to permit the customized error pages. The file needs to contain a specific line of code and a link for each error type and you can discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
