If you have checked out lots of Internet sites, you've probably encountered some error message once in a while. An error can take place if the server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that isn't on the web server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages may sometimes be aggravating since the pages have nothing in common with the actual website. That’s why some web hosting service providers permit you to apply your own error pages that'll match the design of your own website and that could have any content that you want - info why the error has appeared, a suggestion how to handle it or even some witty remark. This type of function can help you keep the visitor on the site irrespective of the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Shared Web Hosting

The custom error pages function is available with each and every shared web hosting plan which we offer and you'll be able to swap all generic pages with your own with no more than several mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting CP. You will need to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can easily do this for each and every website hosted in the account individually, so that every set of customized pages will have identical style and design as the Internet site it's part of. If required, you could always revert back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. Another way to set custom error pages is to create an .htaccess file in the domain/subdomain root folder and to add a few lines in it. If you haven't done this before, you can simply copy the required program code from our Help article on the subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Incorporating your pages for any of the four error types to any website hosted through a semi-dedicated server account with us will be really basic and will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks. As soon as you upload the files in your account, you could check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there via an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You can choose what page should display for each error type. The options are a default Apache web server page or a page from our system, and personalized pages. If you pick the last option, you will need to type in the link to each page inside your account, then save the change. The link or the type of page that will be displayed when a user encounters an error can be changed whenever you want. In case you’re more experienced, you may use an .htaccess file in order to set custom error pages as well, as opposed to using our integrated generator software tool, and should you pick this option, the file has to be located in the root directory of a particular domain or subdomain.
