When a page on your website doesn't load, an error message will be displayed to the site visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that will appear, but what's typical for all of them is that they are generic and most likely will have practically nothing in common with the layout of your website, which could be irritating for any website visitor. That is the primary reason why hosting service providers have introduced a function called Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, site visitors shall see your custom content, which could be informative or funny, depending on your preference, and that will match the design and style of your website, so the pages won't appear as if they aren't part of your site at all. You can use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Website Hosting

The customized error pages function is available with each and every website hosting plan which we offer and you will be able to replace all of the generic pages with your own with no more than a few clicks inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will have to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can easily do this for every single website hosted in the account individually, so that every set of customized pages will have the very same style and design as the site it's part of. If necessary, you could always go 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 inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you never done this before, you could simply copy the necessary program code from our Help article about the subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All of the Linux semi-dedicated services which we provide support customized error pages and it will not take more than a couple of clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this functionality. The option can be found in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel in which you'll have to type in the links to the custom-made files via simple drop-down menus and an easy to use interface. Of course, you have to upload them inside your account before that. If you do not need to employ this feature at some point, you could deactivate it just as easily and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable whenever your visitors encounter an error. If you'd prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to enable the customized error pages. The file should have a particular line of code as well as a link for each error type and you can discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
