If a page on your website doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the site visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages which will display, but what's typical for all of them is that they're generic and most likely will have practically nothing in common with the layout of your Internet site, which can be aggravating for any site visitor. This is the main reason why web hosting companies have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, website visitors shall see your custom content, which could be informative or funny, depending on your choice, and which will match the design and style of your site, so the pages will not appear as if they aren't part of your Internet 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 Shared Web Hosting
You can set up custom made error pages for each of your sites without difficulty if you use any of our Linux shared web hosting. This can easily be done using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided 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 choose from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Tailor-made error pages can be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it must include some system code and links to the pages. If you aren't tech-savvy, you could copy the whole content necessary for the file from our Help section.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host your web sites in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you may set custom made error pages for each of them effortlessly using our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just a few clicks inside the Hosted Domains section, you can change the default setting from a system page to a custom one for any of the four error types. All you should do is supply a link to each and every file that you've uploaded before that and then save the change. If required, you will be able to revert this modification at any time and in exactly the same way. If you would like, you could use an .htaccess file as well. It has to be created/uploaded within the domain or subdomain folder associated with the site whose error pages you would want to change and the content for such a file can be found in our Help article on this matter.
