Whenever a page on your website doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages that'll appear, but what is typical for all of them is that they're generic and in all probability shall have absolutely nothing that is similar to the design of your site, which can be irritating for any site visitor. This is the reason why web hosting service providers have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, site visitors shall see your custom made content, which could be informative or humorous, based on your personal preference, and which shall match the overall style and design of your Internet site, so the pages shall not look like they are not part of your Internet site at all. You could use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Website Hosting

You'll be able to set up personalized error pages for any of your websites with ease if you use any of our Linux cloud website hosting plans. This could be done through the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts and once you go there, you'll be able to set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account before you start and enter the links to them during the process. This feature could be de-activated whenever you want and the options you'll be able to choose from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Customized error pages can be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it should contain some system code and links to the pages. If you aren't tech-savvy, you could copy the whole content needed for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All Linux semi-dedicated servers that we offer support tailor-made error pages and it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option is available in the Hosted Domains section of your CP where you'll need to type in the links to the custom-made files using very simple drop-down menus and an intuitive interface. Of course, you should upload them in your account before that. If you do not want to employ this feature at some point, you will be able to deactivate it just as fast and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable when your visitors encounter an error. If you'd prefer, you may also use an .htaccess file to enable the customized error pages. The file has to have a particular line of code and a link for every error type and you can easily discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
