Each time a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message will be displayed to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that will display, but what is standard for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly shall have nothing in common with the design of your site, which can be annoying for any visitor. That is the main reason why website hosting companies have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a variety of different errors, visitors will see your custom made content, which may be informative or funny, depending on your taste, and that will match the overall design of your Internet site, so the pages shall not seem like they're not part of your Internet site 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
You will be able to set up custom error pages for each of your sites with ease if you use any of our shared hosting plans. This could be done via the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and once you go there, you can set your custom made pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account beforehand and input the links to them during the process. This function may be de-activated anytime and the options you'll be able to select from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Tailor-made error pages could be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it must contain some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you could copy the entire content you'll need for the file from our Help section.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
All semi-dedicated servers which we supply support customized error pages and it shall not take more than a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your CP in which you will need to input the links to the custom-made files via basic drop-down menus and a time and effort saving interface. Keep in mind, you should upload them inside your account before that. If you don't want to employ this function at some point, you can easily deactivate it just as fast and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be shown whenever your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you could also use an .htaccess file to allow the customized error pages. The file has to have a particular line of code and a link for each and every error type and you can easily find an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
