Each time a page on your Internet site does not load, an error message shall be shown to the site visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages which will display, but what's standard for all of them is that they're generic and most likely will have nothing that is similar to the design of your website, which could be frustrating for any website visitor. That is the primary reason why web hosting companies have introduced a feature called Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, site visitors shall see your customized content, which could be informative or funny, depending on your choice, and which will match the design of your website, so the pages won't look like they're not part of your Internet site at all. You can use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

You shall be able to set up custom made error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all shared hosting plans that we provide, so when you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and visit the Hosted Domains section, you can easily click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that"ll be displayed, you could choose the sort of error page that should show up - a default one from our system, a standard Apache server page or a custom one. For the last mentioned option, you have to specify the URL to the page, so when you use customized pages, you should upload the files in your Internet hosting account first. An alternative way is to use an .htaccess file located in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The actual syntax can be found in our Knowledge Base, to help you use this feature even if you do not have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

Adding your pages for each of the 4 error types to any website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us will be really simple and will not take more than several clicks. After you upload the files to your account, you can navigate to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and edit any of the domains and subdomains listed there via an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You may select what page should display for every single error type. The alternatives are a standard Apache web server page or a page from our system, and tailor-made pages. Should you pick the last option, you need to input the link to every page in your account, then save the change. The link or the kind of page which appears when a user encounters an error can be modified whenever you want. In case you are more experienced, you could use an .htaccess file to be able to set personalized error pages as well, as an alternative to using our integrated generator software instrument, and should you choose this option, the file needs to be positioned inside the root directory of a given domain or subdomain.
