If you have looked at lots of sites, you've probably encountered some error message from time to time. An error can occur if the web server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in so as to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that is not on the server (Error 404). Receiving this sort of messages may often be frustrating because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some website hosting companies allow you to apply your own error pages which will match the style of your own Internet site and which could have any content that you would like - details why the error has appeared, a suggestion what you can do or even some witty comment. This type of feature will help you keep the visitor on the website irrespective of the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting
You will be able to set up personalized error pages for any of your websites with ease when you use any of our shared website hosting plans. This could be done from the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all accounts as soon as you go there, you'll be able to set your custom made pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account ahead of time and input the links to them during the process. This feature can be de-activated whenever you want and the options you'll be able to pick from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache server page. Customized error pages may be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it should contain some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you can copy the whole content needed for the file from our Help section.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
Adding your own pages for any of the four error types to any Internet site hosted from a semi-dedicated server account with us will be very uncomplicated and will not take more than several clicks. After you upload the files to your account, you can check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there through an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You could choose what page should appear for every single error type. The choices are a default Apache web server page or a page from our system, and custom pages. Should you choose the abovementioned option, you must input the link to each and every page in your account, then save the change. The link or the kind of page that will appear when a user encounters an error can be modified whenever you want. In case you’re more experienced, you may use an .htaccess file so as to set in-house developed error pages as well, as an alternative to using our integrated generator tool, and in case you choose this option, the file must be placed in the root directory of a specific domain or subdomain.
