If a page on your site doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the site visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages which will show up, but what's standard for all of them is that they're generic and most likely shall have practically nothing that is similar to the design of your website, which could be aggravating for any site visitor. That is the main reason why website hosting service providers have introduced a function named Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, website visitors shall see your customized content, which may be informative or amusing, in accordance with your taste, and which shall match the style and design of your website, so the pages won't look like they aren't part of your website at all. You may use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting
You can set up custom error pages for each of your Internet sites easily if you use any of our shared website hosting. This can be done via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts as soon as you go there, you could set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account in advance and enter the links to them during the process. This function can be de-activated anytime and the options you will be able to choose from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Customized error pages could be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it should incorporate some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you may copy the entire content you'll need for the file from our Help section.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of the semi-dedicated servers that we supply support customized error pages and it shall not take more than a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this functionality. The option is available in the Hosted Domains section of your CP in which you will have to type in the links to the custom-made files through basic drop-down menus and an easy to use interface. Of course, you have to upload them to your account before that. If you do not want to employ this function at some point, you will be able to deactivate it just as quickly and choose an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable if your visitors encounter an error. If you'd prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to allow the custom error pages. The file should contain a specific line of code as well as a link for every single error type and you may find an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
