When a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that will show up, but what's typical for all of them is that they're generic and almost certainly will have practically nothing in common with the layout of your website, which could be frustrating for any visitor. That is the primary reason why web hosting providers have introduced a function named Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, site visitors will see your customized content, which can be informative or funny, in accordance with your taste, and that will match the overall style and design of your Internet site, so the pages shall not appear as if they're not part of your Internet site at all. You may use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting

You'll be able to set up customized error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all shared website hosting solutions that we offer, so as soon as you log in to your Hepsia CP and check out the Hosted Domains section, you can easily click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that will show up, you can select the sort of error page which should appear - a default one from our system, a conventional Apache web server page or a custom one. For the aforementioned alternative, you will need to assign the URL to the page, so if you use personalized pages, you need to upload the files in your hosting account first. Another way is to use an .htaccess file located in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The actual syntax can be found in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this feature even if you don't have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All of the semi-dedicated servers which we provide support custom error pages and it will not take more than a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option is available in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you will need to input the links to the custom-made files using very simple drop-down menus and an easy to work with interface. Keep in mind, you need to upload them in your account before that. If you don't need to employ this function at some point, you can disable it just as quickly and choose an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be shown whenever your visitors encounter an error. If you'd prefer, you may also use an .htaccess file to permit the custom error pages. The file should contain a specific line of code plus a link for every error type and you can discover an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
