When a page on your website does not load, an error message shall be displayed to the website visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll appear, but what is standard for all of them is that they're generic and most likely will have nothing that resembles the design of your Internet site, which may be annoying for any visitor. That is the reason why website hosting providers have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, site visitors will see your custom content, which could be informative or humorous, depending on your choice, and that will match the overall design of your website, so the pages shall not appear as if they're not part of your site at all. You can use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting

You can set up personalized error pages for each of your sites with ease when you use any of our cloud hosting. This can be done using the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and when you go there, you could set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account ahead of time and input the links to them through the process. This function could be de-activated whenever you want and the options you'll be able to select from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache server page. Tailor-made error pages could be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it must include some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you can copy the whole content required for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

Incorporating your own pages for any of the four error types to any web site hosted through a semi-dedicated server account with us will be really basic and will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks. After you upload the files inside your account, you can go to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and edit any of the domains and subdomains listed there via an intuitive interface with drop-down navigation. You can choose what page should appear for each and every error type. Your options are a standard Apache server page or a page from our system, and customized pages. In case you pick the aforementioned option, you will need to enter the link to every page in your account, then save the change. The link or the type of page that will be shown if a user encounters an error can be changed whenever you want. In case you are more experienced, you can use an .htaccess file to be able to set customized error pages too, as opposed to using our integrated generator software instrument, and in case you pick this option, the file should be located in the root directory of a particular domain or subdomain.
