When a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the site visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that will display, but what is typical for all of them is that they're generic and most likely shall have practically nothing that is similar to the design of your Internet site, which could be frustrating for any website visitor. This is the primary reason why hosting providers have introduced a feature named Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, site visitors shall see your custom content, which could be informative or amusing, based on your preference, and which shall match the style and design of your Internet site, so the pages will not look like they aren't part of your Internet site at all. You can use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to set up custom made error pages for any of your sites effortlessly when you use any of our cloud web hosting. This can be done from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and once you go there, you can set your customized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account ahead of time and input the links to them through the process. This feature could be de-activated at any time and the options you shall be able to to choose from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Tailor-made error pages can be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be placed 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 can copy the entire content you'll need for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All of the semi-dedicated servers which we offer support personalized error pages and it shall not take more than a few clicks inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this functionality. The option can be found in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you'll have to enter the links to the custom-made files using basic drop-down menus and an easy to work with interface. Of course, you must upload them inside your account before that. If you do not want to use this function at some point, you could deactivate it just as quickly and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable whenever your visitors encounter an error. If you prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to allow the custom made error pages. The file has to include a particular line of code plus a link for each and every error type and you can easily discover an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
