When a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what is typical for all of them is that they are generic and in all probability shall have practically nothing that resembles the layout of your site, which could be annoying for any site visitor. This is the reason why hosting providers have introduced a feature called Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, site visitors shall see your custom content, which may be informative or humorous, based on your personal preference, and that will match the design and style of your site, so the pages will not seem like they aren't part of your Internet site at all. You can use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Website Hosting

You can set up custom error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all cloud website hosting plans that we provide, so when you log in to your Hepsia CP and go to the Hosted Domains section, you can click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up which will be displayed, you could choose the type of error page which should appear - a default one from our system, a conventional Apache web server page or a customized one. For the latter option, you must assign the URL to the page, so if you use personalized pages, you need to upload the files inside your Internet hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file placed inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each error type. The actual syntax can be found in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this feature even if you don't have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you could set tailor-made error pages for each of them easily via our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just a few mouse clicks in the Hosted Domains section, you are able to modify the default setting from a system page to a customized one for any of the 4 error types. All you have to do is provide a link to every single file that you have uploaded before that and then save the change. If needed, you shall be able to revert this change at any time and in exactly the same way. If you would like, you may use an .htaccess file as well. It has to be created/uploaded inside the domain or subdomain folder belonging to the internet site whose error pages you want to alter and the content for such a file can be found in our Help article for this matter.
