If a page on your site does not load, an error message shall be shown to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that will show up, but what is standard for all of them is that they're generic and probably will have nothing in common with the design of your Internet site, which may be annoying for any site visitor. That is the primary reason why web hosting companies have introduced a function known as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, site visitors shall see your customized content, which may be informative or funny, in accordance with your preference, and that will match the layout of your Internet site, so the pages shall not appear as if they aren't part of your site at all. You can use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting

You can set up customized error pages for any of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all cloud hosting plans which we provide, so after you log in to your Hepsia CP and go to the Hosted Domains section, you may click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up which will appear, you may choose the kind of error page that should show up - a default one from our system, a standard Apache web server page or a customized one. For the last mentioned alternative, you have to assign the URL to the page, so when you use customized pages, you must upload the files inside your Internet hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file placed inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The correct syntax can be located in our Knowledge Base, to help you use this function even if you don't have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Adding your pages for each of the four error types to any site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with us will be very simple and will not take more than several mouse clicks. After you upload the files inside your account, you can go to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there via an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You can pick what page should display for every error type. The choices are a standard Apache server page or a page from our system, and tailor-made pages. If you pick the abovementioned option, you have to input the link to every single page in your account, then save the change. The link or the sort of page that will be displayed when a user encounters an error can be changed whenever you want. In case you are more experienced, you may use an .htaccess file to set in-house made error pages too, as opposed to using our integrated generator software instrument, and in case you choose this option, the file has to be located in the root directory of a specific domain or subdomain.
