If a page on your site doesn't load, an error message will be displayed to the site visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that will appear, but what is common for all of them is that they are generic and in all probability shall have practically nothing that is similar to the layout of your website, which could be frustrating for any site visitor. This is the main reason why website hosting service providers have introduced a function known as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, site visitors shall see your unique content, which may be informative or funny, based on your preference, and which shall match the overall layout of your site, so the pages won't seem like they aren't part of your Internet site at all. You could use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting

You can set up customized error pages for each of your sites effortlessly if you use any of our cloud hosting. This could be done via the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, offered with all accounts and when you go there, you'll be able to set your customized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should 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 will be able to choose from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Tailor-made error pages can be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be placed in the domain or subdomain folder and it should incorporate some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you may copy the entire content required for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All semi-dedicated servers that we offer support personalized error pages and it will not take more than a few clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this functionality. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your CP where you will need to type in the links to the custom-made files through basic drop-down menus and a user-friendly interface. Keep in mind, you must upload them in your account before that. If you don't need to employ this feature at some point, you can deactivate it just as fast and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable if your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you can also use an .htaccess file to enable the customized error pages. The file needs to include a particular line of code as well as a link for each and every error type and you can easily discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
