If a page on your website doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the site visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages which will appear, but what is common for all of them is that they're generic and probably shall have practically nothing that is similar to the layout of your Internet site, which may be annoying for any site visitor. That is the main reason why website hosting providers have introduced a function named Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, visitors shall see your custom made content, which could be informative or funny, based on your personal preference, and that will match the overall style and design of your Internet site, so the pages won't look like they aren't part of your Internet site at all. You may use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
Custom Error Pages in Website Hosting
You'll be able to set up custom made error pages for all of your Internet sites easily when you use any of our Linux website hosting packages. This can be done using the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts as soon as you go there, you can set your custom made pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account before you start and input the links to them through the process. This function may be de-activated anytime and the options you will be able to choose from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache server page. Custom error pages can be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be placed in the domain or subdomain folder and it must incorporate some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you may copy the whole content you'll need for the file from our Help section.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All semi-dedicated packages which we supply support personalized error pages and it shall not take more than several mouse clicks from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option is available in the Hosted Domains section of your CP in which you will need to enter the links to the custom-made files using simple drop-down menus and an intuitive interface. Of course, you need to upload them inside your account before that. In case you don't want to use this feature at some point, you can disable it just as quickly and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be displayed if your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you could also use an .htaccess file to activate the custom made error pages. The file should have a particular 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.
