Each time a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message shall be shown to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what is common 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 website, which could be aggravating for any visitor. This is the reason why web hosting service providers have introduced a feature called Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, visitors shall see your customized content, which may be informative or funny, in accordance with your personal preference, and that will match the overall style and design of your Internet site, so the pages will not seem like they're not part of your website at all. You could use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting

You'll be able to set up custom made error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all shared website hosting plans that we offer, so as soon as you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and check out the Hosted Domains section, you can click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that will show up, you could choose the type of error page that should appear - a default one from our system, a typical Apache web server page or a personalized one. For the aforementioned option, you need to assign the URL to the page, so when you use customized pages, you need to upload the files in your Internet hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file located in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The exact syntax can be found in our Knowledge Base, so that you can use this feature even if you do not have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Incorporating your personal pages for each of the four error types to any site hosted through a semi-dedicated server account with us will be really uncomplicated and will not take more than a few clicks. As soon as you upload the files in your account, you could go to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there using an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You could choose what page should show up for each error type. Your choices are a default Apache server page or a page from our system, and custom made pages. If you choose the aforementioned option, you will need to type in the link to every page in your account, then save the change. The link or the kind of page which will be displayed in case a user encounters an error can be modified whenever you want. If you're more experienced, you could use an .htaccess file to be able to set in-house made error pages as well, rather than using our integrated generator software tool, and in case you choose this option, the file must be placed inside the root directory of a given domain or subdomain.
