If you have browsed loads of Internet sites, you have probably come across some error message from time to time. An error can take place in case the web server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not able to access a page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that isn't on the website hosting server (Error 404). Getting this sort of messages may often be irritating since the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual website. That’s why some web hosting service providers permit you to apply your own error pages which will match the design of your own site and that could have any content which you want - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to proceed or even some amusing comment. Such a feature can help you keep the visitor on the website whatever the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

You will be able to set up custom error pages for each of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all shared hosting solutions that we provide, so after you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and visit the Hosted Domains section, you may click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that"ll show up, you can pick the type of error page which should appear - a default one from our system, a typical Apache server page or a personalized one. For the last mentioned alternative, you need to specify the URL to the page, so when you use custom made pages, you have to upload the files inside your website hosting account first. Another way is to use an .htaccess file placed inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The precise syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, to help you use this feature even if you don't have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to set custom made error pages for each of them effortlessly through our custom Hepsia hosting CP. With a couple of clicks in the Hosted Domains section, you are able to change the default setting from a system page to a tailor-made one for any of the 4 error types. All you must do is provide a link to each file that you have uploaded before that and then save the change. If necessary, you will be able to revert this change anytime and in exactly the same way. If you'd like, you may use an .htaccess file too. It should be created/uploaded inside the domain or subdomain folder related to the site whose error pages you would want to change and the content for this type of file can be found in our Help article on this matter.
