When a page on your site doesn't load, an error message will be displayed to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that'll appear, but what's standard for all of them is that they're generic and almost certainly will have absolutely nothing that is similar to the design of your website, which may be irritating for any site visitor. This is the primary reason why website hosting companies have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, visitors shall see your customized content, which can be informative or humorous, depending on your personal preference, and that will match the design of your Internet site, so the pages will not seem like they are not part of your Internet site at all. You could use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

The custom error pages feature is provided with each and every shared hosting plan we offer and you shall be able to substitute all the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You'll need to develop the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a given domain or subdomain using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can do this for every single web site hosted in the account individually, so that each set of customized pages shall have the very same layout as the website it is part of. If necessary, you could always return back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. Another way to set customized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have never done this before, you can simply copy the necessary program code from our Help article about the subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account from us, you can set custom made error pages for each of them effortlessly through our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With several clicks inside the Hosted Domains section, you could modify the default setting from a system page to a custom one for each of the four error types. All you must do is supply a link to every single file that you've uploaded before that and then save the change. If required, you shall be able to revert this customization anytime and in exactly the same way. If you'd like, you can use an .htaccess file too. It should be created/uploaded within the domain or subdomain folder linked to the internet site whose error pages you want to alter and the content for this kind of file can be found in our Help article about this matter.
