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

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting

The custom made error pages feature is available with each cloud hosting package deal that we offer and you'll be able to substitute all of the generic pages with your own with no more than several mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting CP. You'll need to develop the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can do this for each and every Internet site hosted in the account individually, so that each set of customized pages will have identical design as the Internet site it's part of. When necessary, you may always go back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. An alternate way to set customized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to add a few lines in it. If you have never done this before, you could simply copy the necessary code from our Help article about this.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Including your personal pages for each of the four error types to any website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with us will be really uncomplicated and won't take more than a couple of clicks. As soon as you upload the files in your account, you can go to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there through an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You can choose what page should appear for each error type. The choices are a standard Apache web server page or a page from our system, and personalized pages. Should you pick the abovementioned option, you must type in the link to every page inside your account, then save the change. The link or the type of page that will be displayed in case a user encounters an error can be modified anytime. In case you are more experienced, you could use an .htaccess file to be able to set personalized error pages as well, instead of using our integrated generator software instrument, and if you pick this option, the file has to be located in the root directory of a particular domain or subdomain.
