If you have checked out many sites, you've probably come across some error message once in a while. An error may occur if the web server can't process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in so that you can see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that is not on the web server (Error 404). Encountering this kind of messages may often be annoying because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some web hosting service providers permit you to apply your own error pages which will match the layout of your own Internet site and which may have any content that you'd like - details why the error has appeared, a suggestion how to handle it or even some witty remark. This type of function will help you keep the visitor on the site regardless of the error or the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Web Hosting

The customized error pages feature is provided with every single web hosting package deal which we offer and you shall be able to substitute the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will need to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You may do this for each website hosted inside the account separately, so that every group of custom made pages shall have the very same layout as the Internet site it is part of. If needed, you could always return back to a default page from our system or to a 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 have never done this before, you can simply copy the needed code from our Help article on the subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with us, you may set tailor-made error pages for any of them easily through our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With a couple of clicks in the Hosted Domains section, you'll be able to edit the default setting from a system page to a custom made one for each of the 4 error types. All you should do is provide 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 customization anytime and in exactly the same way. If you want, you can use an .htaccess file as well. It must be created/uploaded within the domain or subdomain folder linked to the site whose error pages you intend to alter and the content for this sort of file can be found in our Help article about this matter.
