Whenever a page on your website doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the website visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what is common for all of them is that they're generic and probably will have practically nothing in common with the layout of your Internet site, which may be frustrating for any website visitor. This is the reason why hosting companies have introduced a feature called Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, visitors will see your customized content, which may be informative or amusing, based on your taste, and which shall match the overall style and design of your Internet site, so the pages won't seem like they're not part of your website at all. You may use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting
The personalized error pages function is available with every single shared hosting package deal we offer and you will be able to replace all generic pages with your own with no more than just a few mouse clicks from 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 using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can easily do this for each web site hosted in the account separately, so that every group of customized pages will have the same style and design as the Internet site it's part of. If necessary, you could always return back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. One other way to set personalized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have never done this before, you could simply copy the required code from our Help article about this.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you can set custom made error pages for each of them with ease using our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Hosted Domains section, you are able to modify the default setting from a system page to a customized one for each of the four error types. All you should do is provide a link to each and every file you have uploaded before that and then save the change. If required, you shall be able to revert this customization at any time and in exactly the same way. If you'd like, you can use an .htaccess file as well. It must be created/uploaded in the domain or subdomain folder belonging to the site whose error pages you would want to modify and the content for this kind of file can be found in our Help article for this matter.
