If you have browsed lots of Internet sites, you have probably come across some error message from time to time. An error may occur when the website hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so as to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access some webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file which is not on the website hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this type of messages may sometimes be frustrating since the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting providers permit you to apply your own error pages that'll match the style of your own website and that could have any content which you would like - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion what you can do or even some amusing remark. This type of feature shall help you keep the visitor on the website irrespective of the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

The customized error pages function is offered with every single shared hosting package which we offer and you shall be able to swap the generic pages with your own with no more than just a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall have to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can easily do this for every Internet site hosted inside the account individually, so that every group of personalized pages will have the very same layout as the Internet site it is part of. If necessary, you may always return back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. A different way to set custom made error pages is to create an .htaccess file in the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have not done this before, you may simply copy the required program code from our Help article on this subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All Linux semi-dedicated servers that we supply support custom error pages and it shall not take more than several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this function.

Of course, you need to upload them in your account before that. In case you do not want to use this feature at some point, you could disable it just as easily and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be displayed if your visitors encounter an error. If you prefer, you can also use an .htaccess file to activate the personalized error pages. The file should include a particular line of code and a link for every error type and you may find an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
