If a page on your site does not load, an error message shall be shown to the visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages which will show up, but what is common for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly shall have nothing in common with the layout of your site, which could be irritating for any visitor. This is the primary reason why website hosting providers have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, visitors shall see your unique content, which may be informative or witty, depending on your taste, and that will match the design of your website, so the pages shall not seem like they're not part of your website at all. You can use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

The custom made error pages feature is available with each and every shared hosting package that we offer and you shall be able to swap all of the generic pages with your own with no more than a few clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting CP. You will need to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can do this for each and every Internet site hosted inside the account individually, so that each set of custom pages will have the very same design as the site it's part of. When necessary, you can always return back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. Another 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 never done this before, you may simply copy the required program code from our Help article about the subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

Including your personal pages for any of the four error types to any site hosted through a semi-dedicated server account with us will be really easy and will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks. As soon as you upload the files inside your account, you could go to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there using an intuitive interface with drop-down navigation. You can select what page should display for each error type. The options are a default Apache server page or a page from our system, and personalized pages. In case you select the aforementioned option, you will need to enter the link to each page inside your account, then save the change. The link or the kind of page which will be shown if a user encounters an error can be changed anytime. If you are more experienced, you could use an .htaccess file in order to set in-house made error pages as well, as opposed to using our integrated generator software instrument, and if you choose this option, the file needs to be located in the root directory of a specific domain or subdomain.
